There are so many times as I read through my great grandmother's journal that I wish she had included a recipe. I don't have any of her recipes, so I try to find recipes from the era that might be close to what she was preparing.

I unearthed a couple of pressed chicken recipes on the internet. .

I am not sure this recipe resembles what Edna made and served at Helen's shower.

I don't think I would enjoy a pressed chicken sandwich so it's not a recipe I plan to attempt in the near future. But if you try it or have a pressed chicken recipe you want to share, I would love to hear from you.
