This recipe was confusing. It states to add 1 cup of chicken broth to the chicken, then later add the remaining chicken broth to the mushroom onion mixture....how much??? I just guessed. While it was good, I'm not sure if I'll make it again. I ended up adding cornstarch and water mixed together to thicken the mushroom sauce. It was OK.

I am a baking freaK! I love to try new things especially adapting fatty recipes into better for you (lower fat/low carb) versions! I live in Arizona with my husband and my two mini schnauzers. I work a lot, but my therapy is when I get to make something bitchin' in the kitchen!
