I am so glad you posted this recipe. We bought the original recipe card and it has worn out from constant use (should have had it laminated). It is a great recipe that the whole family has enjoyed for years. The last time we did it, it was on the stove top stir fry fashion, and it turned out great.
I’m so glad I could help!

How can I increase this for 50 people — I won’t use individual pieces, but chopped chicken
tenders (precooked)
