"This is a recipe I have been using for all of my adult life. I cannot recall where I got it from. All children love this because you can control the amount of heat. Try not to tweak it until after you try it as stated. Hint: I pressure cook my chicken so it isnt too dry and tough. Not sure on tine to cook, the chicken you can make ahead. Serve with french bread and salad. Bon Appetit!!!"

DEE-LISH! We liked this alot and I will be making it again. My little girl really liked it and my DH ate 2 big platefuls. I made a couple very minor changes- I left out the celery because we don't like it and instead of a can of tomato soup and a can of tomato sauce, I used 2 cans of tomato sauce (we don't like the taste of canned tomato soup). Other than that, I made this exactly as written and it was perfect. As it says in the last step, I did have to add extra chicken broth to keep it from getting too thick so you want to keep the broth until its ready to put on the table. I did use the hot sauce and it was not too hot or spicy at all. Thanks for posting this yummy dinner recipe! Made for Pick a Chef Spring 2009.
