CHICKEN PUDDING
The name of this recipe is what caught my attention too. I can only think of chocolate when it comes to pudding, so I was very curious. This recipe is a chicken bread type casserole that puffs up because of the eggs. I was so intrigued with the idea that I made it right away. It is a little time consuming to make it the way the recipe says, but because we enjoyed it so much, next time I am going to cheat and use rotisserie chicken and heated canned chicken broth. This has such a good homey taste, almost like chicken and stuffing but more like maybe chicken and dumplings. I was afraid it might be a little bland, but really it wasn't and well, it just hits the spot. Oh this recipe comes from Southern Living magazine, orginated though by a lady by the name of Mama Dip.
