The first time I had Viva La Chicken, was when my dear friend Nelene brought this when my Grandpa George passed away. Being a native Californian, I love Mexican food. It's one of my comfort foods. Amazing how food can comfort us when we miss a cherished one who has left us just temporarily here on earth. After eating Viva La Chicken, I had to have this recipe! Nelene being her gracious self shared it with me. Little did I know through the years I would make this same dish to comfort others in their time of need. It's one of my many Cherished recipes, even more now that Nelene, who was my Matron of Honor in our wedding received her crown of glory after a battle with Breast cancer.
I experienced such joy this week with a cherished friend! She touches my heart, soul and spirit. In that profound moment of conversation she leaves me wanting to be back in her presence for more. Cherish those friends God gives, and making and eating Viva La Chicken.
