I love it when Recipezaar plans my dinner for me! I had all the ingredients for your recipe on hand and it was great. The flavors are mellow and it is a good comfort food. I used 3/4 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup white wine, and 1/2 cup of milk. I also used fresh spinach because that's what I had on hand. I wilted it with the chicken after I made the sauce. I did have to use 2 Tbsps of flour to make the sauce a consistancy that I liked. I used 1/2 cup Asiago grated cheese and 2 Tbsps of sauteed pinenuts which I added at the last minute. We really enjoyed it, and thanks for the recipe. My husband said it's a "doer again"! Carole in Orlando

I am a stay at home mom of 3 girls ages 16,14, and 12...My 16 year old has acted like she was 30 since she was 2, and strongwilled as well...so life is never dull around here.
I love surfing the web and taking care of my children. If I had a month off I would take my kids to as many vacation spots as I could and enjoy our time together.
Since my children are younger, I could use kid friendly recipes and delicious casserole dishes that I can make for me when I have to cater to their favorite foods.
Recipezaar has inspired me to be interested in cooking and sharing recipes! Thanks
