Notes
Notes: If you make your chicken, pour ¾ cup of stock into the bottom of the pan and scrape down all the drippings. Add more stock if you don’t have a lot of drippings. You want to have 1 cup of liquid in total. Reserve until you’re making the chicken sandwich. You will not require a package of gravy if you have these juices.
