Introduction

This recipe is from an article on Sparkpeople.com, so I was surprised not to find it in the recipe database. I added the dash of salt and pepper to taste. I also recommend cutting the chicken into really small chunks-- it worked better for us!

A tasty recipe for those days when the temptation is strong!
