Ooh yum! I used to eat these growing up, but it’s been ages since I had one. I might need to fix that right away!
I had a roomate who would make these for her fiance, and he would talk about them nonstop. I am so excited to have the recipe now! Thanks Becky, this blog is really fun to read and learn from.
These were so quick and easy. I used the $6 rotisserie chicken, so that was one less step. We ate them with a Garlic Parmesan sauce. They turned out so yummy!
That’s such a smart move to save time! Sounds delicious- how you made it!
