I've looked at this recipe probably since it first posted last year.<br/>Today was the day and I regret waiting so long to prepare it.<br/>We prefer dark meat and the breasts were replaced with thighs<br/>which I pounded thinly. Fresh mint from our garden and the<br/>gremolata alone is worth five stars! (We soon discovered it was<br/>good on everything!). To complete the meal: Recipe #452889,<br/>simple steamed broccoli and a basic tossed salad (loose leaf lettuce, white cabbage, <br/>carrots, radishes). A new favorite way to prepare chicken and can we say easy and quick to throw together, too?! Thank you for posting the recipe! It made it into my Best of 2011 cookbook for<br/>next year's recipe tag game! A real winner all around!
