Was great for a dinner party, the difference I made was to saute the chicken until just brown on either side, then placed it in the baking dish and cooked it in the sauce that I had already made. Very enjoyable. Thanks! -
The sauce was fantastic!! I even used low fat sour cream and it was still delish! We even put it on the steamed asparagus I made to go with dinner. The kids requested I make it with a little less pepper next time (but that being said, plates were practically licked clean) This one is a keeper! -
The heat of the pepper on the chicken breasts is off-set by the creamy sauce and the creamy sauce is highlighted by the pepper on the chicken breasts. I tasted the sauce while making it and found it a little bland but the pepper on the chicken is what makes the dish complete. Pretty dish and easy to do with normal things I usually have on hand. Thanks! -
I agree that this is worthy of a dinner party or serving to guests. What's even better is that this is soooo simple to make even on the average Tuesday! The sauce is creamy yet not too rich. I used reduced fat sour cream, but made no other changes. Thanx for posting this one. I'll be making this again for us. I will use this recipe when I cook for our neighbors that just brought home a newborn...I'm quite confident that they will enjoy it.

<p>I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was born in Esterhazy Saskatchewan. I am in the Food & Beverage industry and have been for over 22 years. I love to cook, but I would not call myself a "Chef". While I'm not good at creating recipes, I can take a recipe and tweak it or improve on it. I would have to say that I'm a self taught cook as my Mother never had time to really teach me. I would just watch her and figured it out on my own. I have collected 1000's of recipes (lots from here on Zaar) from cookbooks, clippings, pamphlets, you name it. <br />I like to read (favorite author is Jackie Collins), watch movies, trying to figure out how computers work and like to surf the net. Although I can stay in the background for months and not say anything, I'm always here on Zaar. It's a great site to be involved with. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8352/saladtl5.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/7688/salad8dw5ck0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3374/rolls2is3ue8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2480/fork2tp6cl6.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1376/lobster6cz0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8659/crabburger1yu0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/308/crab1lh8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/604/app398896002838932ml0k.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/8537/172478p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8280/149980p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/1571/dessert18li2bz8da5ds4.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/26/chocolates2qi2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2734/foodsoy7.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9931/sweets1il3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8642/drinks1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/7087/drinks2ji0zk3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/9346/1858887vvr6dlsowm.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3972/8ebmqtttm2.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/stats.php?site=carmen782" target="_top"><img src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/index.php?u=carmen782&s=apple" border="0" alt="Free Web Site Counter" hspace="4" vspace="2" align="middle" /></a></p>
