This is one of my original recipes, but I've made it so long that it's an "old favorite" for my family! I always try to include a variety of ingredients to give my recipes a unique touch. The combination in this dish is quite unusual, and people always want to know what's in it.

We apologize for the error, but the amount of chicken broth was accidentally omitted from this recipe. The correct amount is 2 cups. It will be posted to the recipe soon.

I found this recipe in TOH's book, "Low-Fat Country Cooking." As printed in the book, the recipe calls for 2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. Apparently this information was omitted from the online recipe.
