Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Really good recipe! I did change a couple of things to fit what I had on hand. For example, I used only 1 onion and subbed walnuts for the almonds. The leftover chicken I used was quite flavorful to begin with, so make sure your chicken is well-seasoned or the recipe might end up bland. Hubby and I really enjoyed this.
