  NOTES:
  
  *  Succulent and easy chicken -- This recipe makes the most succulent and
  juicy chicken I've had.  It is very easy to make. The only drawback is that
  you have to start the night before you want to serve it. It would be a good
  recipe for when you have company, since you can do most of the work the
  previous day.
  
  *  A note on ingredients for non-US cooks:  "chipped beef" is cooked spiced
  beef cut into very thin slices and packaged for sandwiches. A worthy
  substitute is roast beef sliced very thin and seasoned lightly with salt
  and pepper. A "can of mushroom soup," such as Campbell's soup, is 1 1/2
  cups of double-strength cream soup concentrate. You can substitute the
  Knorr Swiss dried mushroom soup mix (available worldwide) if you make it
  with a mixture of milk and water. Use 1/2 of a 70-gram package of soup mix
  with 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of milk. Cook the soup according to package
  directions, then let cool.
