You won't believe how delicious, yet how easy this dish is. We tasted it for the first time when our son's godparents made it for us. Even my grandmother—who's 95 years old—likes to serve this creamy dish for luncheons with friends! —Vicki Schlechter, Davis, California

I made this for my family the very DAY my Premier Issue of Taste of Home arrived in my mailbox. I continued to make it for our friends and other family members. I took it to a church potluck and 2weeks later my husband's boss asked him to "ask me" if I would make a little banquet/fundraising meal for our school's Annual Fall Banquet. I said, YES because this recipe was such a hit. I took the quanities, muitiplied them to feed 600, enlisted 10 volunteers, the entire choir to serve and it was a SMASHING success!! They asked us to fix the following year's banquet in which we repeated this recipe. I didn't change anything, except we never used the asparagus. I had Garlic potatoes and fresh green beans, from the same issue. It is now a HIT with many of our friends, but definitely every child in our family! WE fix it for their birthday dinners! THANK YOU Taste of Home for making me look like a professional chef!!

I have been making this recipe for years and it's a family favorite. I cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and use canned asparagus leaving out the hard stem pieces
