I was looking for the very same recipe. My mom used to make it when I was a kid and has passed on the recipe box, but she had misplaced this very important recipe. I did some research and found that you can buy the following recipe book on Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crockers-Best-Chicken-Cookbook/dp/product-description/0028631552 Unfortunatley, the closest to the recipe on Betty Crocker's website is for Beef - I will probably try this and just replace the beef with chicken.
