Recipe update

My husband helped me update the flavors to our current tastes by adding a bit more herbs and spices.

If you have kids (or spouse) who like plain food, you may want to leave the garlic powder and thyme out, and cut back on the pepper.

Recipe Tips

The more you stir the mixture, the smoother, or more pate-like it will become.

So, if you want a nice smooth mixture inside your packets, keep stirring.

If you want to keep it a bit chunky, just lightly mix it.

I like the kick that the pimento adds to this.

If you want, you could use roasted red peppers instead of pimento.

Make it a meal

These Chicken Squares would be a perfect kid-friendly meal when served with a simple green salad with Mom’s Salad Dressing or some nice Cranberry Pecan Broccoli Salad or Stove Top Ranch Carrots, or delicious Potluck Broccoli Salad and a big slice of Chocolate Lasagna for dessert.
