Very good! I pounded some boneless chicken breasts and sauteed them in the pan in butter before making the sauce. I kept the breasts warm in the oven while I completed the sauce then poured it over the chicken. Delicious sauce - I imagine it would be wonderful over my favorite steak! Served it with Luby's Green Bean's & Almonds #58261. Fabulous meal!

I am reformed. I used to take pride in making great reservations. Now I take pride in great recipes. I'm part of the generation that missed the required "home-ec" course. I'm part of the generation where "getting to a man's heart through his stomach" was a sign of female weakness for a career woman like me. Now, however, I'm finding that I don't lose career points by being able to whip up an exceptional dinner. I don't have to, rather, I want to.
