I made this last night and we basically fought over it. Again! I want to eat just that day after day. Sooooo good! The only thing I did different was add some lettuce. De-lish!
YAY! Sounds like a successful dinner. 🙂 - Krista <3

How many cans of chicken would you use if we went that route?
I have never worked with canned chicken before, but I assume 2 cups. Not sure how many cans that is.

This is the best recipe I ever made until now, this is my new favorite lunch. I’m from France so I use grams instead of cup (quite hard to convert), add more mustard and yogourt and some Walnut kernels. So good
I am so honored! Thanks, Laure. 🙂
