Made this the other night just for something different for the 2 of us, & it was DEFINITELY A BIG HIT! The preparation was as written with but 1 exception ~ I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, & I'm sure that didn't change much in the way of flavor! This will certainly be on my schedule for the next time I have company for dinner ~ Simple to prepare & absolutely great presentation! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
