"This is a delicious recipe from the Paris (Ontario) Curling Club recipe book. It is scrumptious. At our son's "buck and doe" the teens were eating this as they brought it into the hall."

I only let this sit in the frige for 4 hours. I cut the recipe in half. I really thought that w/all the spices it would be really good - but I just thought it was kinda "meh" & dry - BUT you could cut it w/a butter knife. DH liked it more than I did & I don't think I'll be making it again & I'm not sure I'll try another city chicken recipe either. Moving on to other foods............... Thanks anyway.

Retired. Love to try new recipes! I am a member of an awesome Church and we have many activities (many include FOOD!) We have many pot blessings! We contribute meals to people who have just returned from hospital or are grieving. Once a year around Christmas we put on a meal for our city's less fortunate. I truly appreciate the help and advice from the 'Zaar members.
