PIEROGI CHICKEN SUPPER RECIPE

This recipe came about because I had a coupon for Pierogies.  We have another recipe but I wanted to try something different.  Plus this had chicken in it so I knew D would go for it.

It was really good.  I think next time though, D would bake the pierogies and add the cauliflower (or broccoli) to the pot.
