Carroll S, City Chicken was called just that because the
veal and pork were so much cheaper than chicken at that time
? long ago ? and if you make this recipe for City Chicken
you will find it tastes like chicken! They even look like
chicken legs! This recipe is also called Mock Chicken in
some places. I am enclosing my version of this recipe. It is
very much T & T and very good! By the way, I use a large
electric skillet.

2 lbs. boneless pork (tenderloin), cubed

heat butter and oil over med. heat. Brown kabobs, turning
frequently; drain. Sprinkle with soup mix. Add broth and
water and reduce heat. Cover and simmer 1 hour or until
tender. Serve with or over hot mashed potatoes. 4 to 6
