Grandma's Secret Trick

Make no mistake, Grandma was as busy as any modern woman. One thing that helped her save time was that when she prepared any type of cooked chicken, she made a little extra, then chopped and refrigerated it for up to three days. That way, she had chopped chicken ready to make this or any simple chicken meal.
