When you say 'light cream' what do you use for that?

LOL, I've never made this recipe.....so hmmm, good question Phyllis. Knowing me, I'd just use milk since I don't keep cream in my house.

Okay, now for the recipe, I think I'll give this one a try.
Have to echo everybody else... both the recipe and the hunk are quite yummy!
Hi, gals. I'm glad you like the chicken recipe and the beef cake! Thanks for stopping by.
Way too many ingredients, but it sounds luscious. I love chicken salad, but I'm afraid mine is more rudimentary.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Marie-Nicole. It does look complicated, doesn't it? I'm going to fix it this week or next, cause it looks good. Someone at my church makes a wonderful chicken salad....I really need to get the recipe from her.
