This was a wonderful meal.My family LOVED it.I shreded the chicken and was able to make 16 of them.Thank goodness because 8 would have not been enough.I served with the gravy.I recomend making extra(trust me you will want extra).Thanks for this recipe it was simple and tasted great. -
One word...WOW!!!! These are EXCELLENT!!! I added a little diced sweet red pepper and some diced celery to the chicken mixture because I didn't have pimiento. Also added a dash of garlic powder:) Corn flake crumbs worked well. I think next time I will try using a box of crushed up dry stuffing mix with the seasonings in it(like Stove Top) for the coating, as I think the seasonings would kick up the flavor even more (although they really don't need it!) Sprinkled the tops of the rolls with a little parsley, and served them with mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn on the cob. My whole family went wild over it!! I will DEFINITELY be making these again...and again...and again! I did have a little filling left over, which I didn't mind because it makes a great sandwich filling!! -
My family really loved these! They were disappointed when there weren't any leftovers, and I doubled the recipe. Great recipe all the way around! -
This turned out great. I left out the pimientos since we don't like them & used our left over turkey from Thanksgiving. YUM! I know it will be just as good with chicken next time. update: I made it with chicken & it is still yummy. -
This is the exact recipe I was looking for. My mom used to make these for us when I was a kid. We loved them. If you ever have leftover chicken, this is a great recipe to make with it. This recipe totally reminds me of home. Thanks for posting.

I am retired and live in Oklahoma. We use to raise scottish terriers, but now just enjoy having 3..one of which is a rare wheatland scotty. We have 2 grown daughters and my oldest has my grandson & granddaughter. Katy is almost 13 now, and I love and cherish the time she spends with me. My youngest dd is FINALLY having a baby,,a little girl due on April 1 '05. We are very excited! Hubby and I love taking out our pontoon boat every chance we get...we love to fish, but I'm happy just to be out on the water :) I love all kinds of cookbooks, especially southwest and cooking for two meals. Of course Zaar is the best recipe site on the net! I've started copying zaar recipes for my granddaughter and she says she'll never be able to make them all :) My hobbies include my dogs,,grandkids, painting art hobbies, and most crafting...love garage sales too!! I really love working outside in my gardens, but health and "old bones" keep me from it more than it used to. My hubby and I love to travel and also fish. I have used this site for awhile now and I'm embarrassed I haven't shared more of mine. Guess I've been busy making yours! When I have a question, the members here are so friendly, helpful and very quick to answer back! Of course, you've figured by now I love to talk!! I have to say my love for cooking comes from my mom. She is one of those cooks that just gets into the kitchen and starts cooking with no recipes and everything she makes is wonderful! She's about the best "all around cook" I know! I'd like to think I "inherited" some of her cooking intuition :) But getting close to 80 (sorry mom, but you sure don't look it) she cooks circles around me!
