CHICKEN MARMALADE

Chicken Marmalade image

As the children were growing up, it was fun to try different recipes. If they ate what I served and liked it, I would use it for an entree with company. If the dish passed the kids' palates, I knew others would enjoy it. -Joi Freeman Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
