​HINT: This is an inexpensive family recipe that can be easily scaled up to feed the masses. The quantities above feed six to eight easily.

 

Put it into a large plastic storage container for if you have to take a dish for sharing and reheat in slow cooker.

​

If you needed it for a smorgasborg, or work function (where you're expected to bring something, this is a real winner.) I suggest, if you're sharing with a large group, cut the pieces of chicken into halves or thirds before you cook it and reduce the cooking time by ten minutes.
