I have made this a few times and had to tell you how much I love it! I omitted the sherry and used fat-free half & half and it was still wonderful. Great use for leftover chicken!

Ern, this was great! I posted the pic...I put a couple of tomatoes in it, and I lightened it up a little bit too. I also used some leftover smoked dark meat, subbed some of the shredded cheese for low-fat cottage cheese, and only used a little chedde...more
