"Chip Moody was a beloved News Anchor in Dallas/Ft. Worth and in Houston. He was also a very good friend and neighbor of my best friend's father. When my best friend and I were just venturing out on our own we cooked an elaborate dinner for her father and some guests. This was one of my mother's recipe's that we made for Chip Moody, he absolutely loved it. He has since passed away but I will never forget the pride we felt when he went on and on about the fabulous chicken and asked for the recipe. It is a great company worthy dish."

This dish is absolutely incredible! I admit it takes a little more time and effort but the results are fabulous. Definitely company worthy. Very rich, I could only eat 1/2 portion. I loved the addition of the walnuts. Would not change a thing. Served with with a green salad and crusty bread. Delicious!

I live in Fort Worth and just need to post my thoughts about Chip Moody, he was such a gracious brave man. We really miss seeing him but his suffering is over.

This is a delicious dish, and so aptly named for Chip Moody. Just like him, it is elegant and comforting all at the same time. I love the flavors and textures all complement each other so beautifully. Thanks for sharing it, Riff.
