I picked this as one of three chicken recipes to make in a 'cooking class' I held at my place for a handful of other residents in my mobile home park! An interesting & enjoyable but time-consuming event! Anyway the participants had fun & were happy in every way with the chicken dishes we made! Followed your recipe right on down, though we doubled it, & had a 5-star entree! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
