This is cheap eats! With green beans and biscuits – makes enough for a couple of meals.

Make it on Saturday to enjoy on Sunday.
Another recipe from that red and white checked cookbook Nana gave me.

For more Sunday lunch ideas – that can be enjoyed any day of the week, see Fast Food for Slow Sundays at Habits for a Happy Home or the other recipes posted in the FFSS category.

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    this looks wonderful…i plan to try it with an all-purpose gluten free flour so we’ll see how it turns out. One quick question, though, about how long do you boil the chicken for? I’m assuming it takes quite awhile to cook a whole chicken.

      Thanks, Chris – I would say about an hour and a half to two hours. (and I double checked that with Nana!)
