After giving this much thought, I decided to give this recipe a 5 star rating because I found the garlicky sauce to be absolutely divine! I was wishing I had some fresh bread to soak it up with. I loved the sauce, and liked the chicken. I thought the chicken needed a little something (more salt? more flavor?, not sure), but the sauce is excellent. We served this with Roasted Cauliflower and 16 Roasted Cloves of Garlic (#106251), which made for a garlic fest right in our own home (ha! ha!). I thought the dishes paired nicely. I'd love to see if anyone had some suggestions for the chicken, and I would definitely make this again.

This chicken was so yummy!! It is moist and tender. I think there is a bit too much oil for my taste so I will back off that a bit next time and will add a bit more salt. This made for a great meal ... Thanks Bev!

Other reviewers said this needs more salt. WOW! It already has one TABLESPOON salt, more than half the daily sodium amount needed for a healthy person to maintain good health. Those with high blood pressure should avoid the recipe entirely.

Bev, this was really good, my DH said to make it again soon. Love the garlic! We did use chicken breasts because we don't like the dark meat. Served with rice and sauteed green beans.
