It’s not as easy as it used to be here either. My mom occasionally made sandwiches for our school lunches with it. 💕

I remember spreads being a big deal in my house growing up. From ham to chicken, we were all about it.

I don’t usually do cans and other commercially packaged foods, but I am sure I can reproduce chicken spread at home. This sounds too good to pass up on, dear Gail!
