this is an awesome dish that my kids DIE FOR!!

Delicious!!! Thank you! I followed to a tee, with the exception of adding extra garlic (because I'm a garlic-a-holic). The sauce was a perfect consistency for the chicken. I was afraid it would all run off while it was in the oven, but it thickened a bit & stuck like it was supposed to . Super easy & definitely a keeper!

Dee-lish! This was wonderfully spicy and easy to prepare! The chicken was very tender and the flavors were spot on. I sauteed mustard greens to go with this and it was a delicious, easy meal. Instead of using a bowl to mix the ingredients, I put everything in a pyrex square, stirred, then added the chicken breasts. So easy! Also, I replaced the melted butter with olive oil and used a little red wine vinegar in place of the lemon juice. Even with my changes the chicken was great! I highly recommend this one.

Served with plenty beer. Speaking of which, Louisiana's Motto: We're Not ALL Drunk Cajun Wackos, But That's Our Tourism Campaign.

This was very good and easy. I'm reserving stars until I make it again because I realized after I made it that I left out the mustard! So I'll add the stars then. Without the mustard, it was 4 stars. Maybe the mustard bumps it up to 5! :) UPDATE: Made it for myself tonight WITH the mustard and it is wonderful! Just enough bite to be addictive. I used 3 tsp of the cajun seasoning and the curry (red curry). And sooo easy!

~WELCOME TO MY PAGE~ This page is dedicated to my Dad, who I love & miss each and every day! 3-12-29 to 1-22-10 My name is Star and I am originally from Rhode Island. I have been married for 20 years to my wonderful husband, Phil. We live in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern CA. I love cooking, eating a variety of foods and drinking wine (in moderation , of course)! There's nothing better than a wonderful meal! In Northern CA there is an abundance of fresh ingredients year round as well as wonderful wines! We have been fortunate enough to travel and experience wonderful cuisine, but I miss all the ethnic foods I grew up with. I love to cook and try new recipes. Being the daughter of 2 caterers, food has always been a big part of my families' life. Some of the best memories I have are of family gatherings around the kitchen table or counter. The kitchen was and truly is the "heart of the home"! Back East we enjoy food for passings, celebrations, comfort or everyday life. Menus are varied according to the holidays at hand. Portuguese for Labor Day, Italian for St. Joseph's Day, Irish for St. Patrick's Day, Polish for Easter and the list goes on. Tradition has deep roots in the East and "Food: "is" The Way To Everyone's Heart"! <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u187/starryrose1956/hot_wieners.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> "R.I.
