Some days I don’t plan my meals. There was a particular day that I had decided I would cook chicken drumsticks. I had no idea what I would make with it.
I began going through the pantry trying to decide what I wanted to cook. I stumbled across a can of Italian – Style Wedding with Meatballs and Chicken soup. Hmm. Let’s see what I can come up with…..
I also had fresh Swiss Chard. So I decided to create a dish with it all, my Pantry Chicken Dish. I am sharing this easy dish that consist of simple ingredients.
