I made this dish to take to April's Sunday.
My cousin's wife, Donna made this one year and brought it to Mom and Dad's for Molasses Making. I had invited a dear friend I worked with at Visitation School, Ruth Rother. Ruth is a character and there is always fun to be had around her.
We were all sitting around tables eating and all of a sudden she stands up, grabs the baking dish with the chicken casserole in it and started banging a spoon on it and going around asking people (as she bangs the spoon over and over) if they had made the dish. I think most people were afraid to admit it even if they had made it. They were all asking quietly, "who is that"? It was a memorable day and Donna was finally found and asked for the recipe. We have all joked about it for years.
Ruth moved back to her hometown in northern Missouri and I have lost contact with her. I may have to try and look her up as we had some fun times.

Believe me, after eating this dish, take it to a dinner and you will have people banging the dish with a spoon and asking for the recipe!!
