Surprisingly great! My sister-in-law sent me this recipe. I've been sitting on it for awhile, but decided to give it a try. It was really good. Not really what i was expecting, much better. This one is a do again for sure. I made the Russian version, and i personally think it could use more dill. The consistency of the final mixed product is a little weird, and takes a little work, but maybe my ground chicken was wetter than normal. I bought it ground already.
I also used crust on, and a heel, of multigrain bread instead of white. I think this added a consistency in the cooked product i liked.
Also i used evaporated milk instead of half & half, because that's what i had on hand.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
