I most always have both shredded & diced chicken breasts in the freezer so used added some of the diced stuff after slightly sauteeing the onions & garlic, & following the recipe after that! These are wonderfully flavorful little chicken delights & well-worth making again! Thanks for the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
