Join the discussionIs the chicken supposed to be precooked before adding it to the recipe? I didn’t cook mine because it didn’t call for it but now I’m worried about it. Help!
Hi Michelle, I think it was you I just replied to one Facebook but yes, it is supposed to be cooked first. I apologize for the incorrect recipe card. What I recommend for serving day is to thaw, put it in a baking dish and cook at 350 for 25 minutes or so, until the chicken is cooked through. If the cream sauce starts to get too thick, you can use a little chicken broth to thin it back out again. SO sorry for the confusion but I do think you will be able to enjoy it still.
about how many pounds of chicken is 4 cups?
Hi Sarah- it’s approximately 1.5 pounds of chicken. This link will help- http://onceamonthmeals.com/sli….
what kind of “Cream” does the recipe call for?
Heavy whipping cream such as this- http://www.walmart.com/ip/Land…. Enjoy!
Thank you for the clarification
Won’t the milk & cream curdle if added to pot when hot?
Hi – We test all of our recipes with test cooks before we publish them, and we haven’t found this to be the case for this recipe. I hope this helps. ~OAMM
