Super easy and super good. I made this tonite as I had leftover turkey that needed to be used. Didn't feel like the regular same old same old so checked out Derf recipe list and this is it. This came together so easy. I did make some changes in that I used homemade biscuits and dented them to fit into cups. DH loved and and again asked is this a recipe from zaar again? OF COURSE! He was very pleased. Thank you for another keeper.

    What a wonderful filling and great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey! I substituted white vinegar because I did not have the wine vinegar on hand and I added 1 teaspoon prepared mustard to add a little zip. When I make toast cups I brush them with melted butter on both sides before toasting them and fill them with scrambled eggs, bacon bits, and cheese for breakfast; or with creamed salmon or tuna and peas; or fried mushrooms and onions with odd bits of leftovers (potatoes, meat, veggies)using leftover gravy or cream of mushroom soup (or other cream of soup). I have some frozen pastry tart shells in the freezer and I think this filling would great in those too. Thanks for a terrific recipe. Burnice

    Toast cups are so lovely and easy, but you could be lazy and serve on plain old toast, too. I really enjoyed this dish. Fresh with lots of veggies, colorful and pretty healthy. Not gloppy like most chicken a la king recipes. Even better the next day over toast. I have to admit, I did not expect my kids to eat this one..the vegetables were too visible; however, my 6 year old ate 4 of them! The only change I made was to use pimento instead of red pepper as I had none. Thanks, Derf!
