This is one of the best new recipes I've tried in a while. We absolutely loved the sauce that came with this tender chicken. I loved the technique of searing the chicken off and finishing in the sauce, it really locked in the flavor. I will make this a keeper, thanks so much for sharing!

Excellent even when I substituted chicken broth for the wine and heavy cream. I will be making this again.

This comes together nicely for chicken dish with a delicate & tasty combination of flavors. I used dried crushed rosemary, next time I will use fresh. Served with Carrots (Sous Vide), dumpling noodles and a salad.

What a tasty tasty dish. My dh & I loved this easy to make dish. It was really fast. The chicken was moist and tender, the thick, and smooth sauce was very flavorful. The onions and mushrooms were the perfect finishing touches. I served the chicken with tea biscuits and steamed spinach, it was wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing. I will be making this again often.

I had the privilege of growing up in Ethiopia and Ghana as a young child, settling into the Charlotte, North Carolina area as a teen, and now my husband and I are missionaries living in southwest Germany. My parents live in Kenya and my sister lives in the Middle East. Family reunion cookouts are FUN! I’ve got a wonderful husband and a 8 year old son. I love traveling (go figure!), reading historical fiction, archeology and action movies. We all love to eat! My dh is more of a meat and potato’s guy, but I’ve introduced him to all kinds of eclectic foods. <a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/stats.php?site=kristaroes" target="_top"><img border="0" alt="Free Hit Counters" src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/index.php?u=kristaroes&s=party" ALIGN="middle" HSPACE="4" VSPACE="2"></a> <a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/" target="_top">Free Counter</a> Some Contests I've participated in: <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/zaarcookbooktaggame.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/TEXMEXstickr.jpg"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"><img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/MedSTICKER.jpg"> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/IRecommendTagGa_WonderFall-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/BeyondburgersST.jpg"> <img src="http://star.walagata.com/w/flower753/soup2.jpg">
