  1. This was an excellent recipe, with a fabulous flavour, worth more than 5 stars. I made this for dinner tonight, cutting it in half as there are only two of us and we both wished I had made the full error. I knew from the other reviews to add the broth with the vinegar and wine. I will definitely make this again and plan on making it for my boss as well. Thanks so much for a great recipe!
     
  2. Rave reviews from the family for this simple dish. The flavour is outstanding yet it's so easy to make. Thanks Fairy Nuff for pointing out the error in the recipe, we also added the broth at step 5. This small fault couldn't detract from a wonderful recipe.
     
  3. I made this recipe tonight for dinner - it was totally delicious. The chicken cooked so simply in butter was lovely and tender - the sauce was superb! I didn't see anywhere in the instructions to add the broth so I added it at step 5. I served the chicken with Hash Browns a La Francais #126438, green beans and honey-glazed carrots. Thanks for a delicious recipe Beck.
