Description
I have made this for bridal & baby showers and the women love it. I serve it on a mini croissant with fancy lettuce. It can also be served on a bed of fancy lettuce greens topped with crispy chinese style noodles and fresh fruit on the side. Just lovely.
When i make it just for the family i wing the amounts (approx. 1/4 to 1/2 chicken breast per person).
Update: 8/9/08 purchasing several rotisserie chickens makes this even more tasty! Or be sure to season the water chicken bouillon when simmering the chicken breasts
