This is pretty lack-luster. I made it because I roast a chicken once a week and I'm always looking for new ways to use the leftover chicken meat. This was a miss with my family. It was lacking in flavor and was mushy and boring. It was edible, but not much more. Maybe adjusting the seasoning would give it something a little extra. It is easy and quick though.
