"This is a recipe that I hope gets passed down. Everyone seems to like it. We make it as a main dish when I make it with chicken. We also make it a side when omitting the chicken. We will then have grilled chicken with it."

    • Cook’s Notes:
    • Substitute 6 ounces crab meat (drained well if using canned meat) for the chicken; along with 1 tablespoon of scallions.
    • Leftover mixture can be added to hollowed out tomatoes or peppers and cooked in the same way.
    • Cooking time and flavor will vary depending on how chicken is cooked (grilled, broiled, or stewed).
    • Tip
    • Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
