Very good, although I must admit I altered it quite a bit, though the basic recipe is what caught my eye. What I did differntly was to increase the chicken broth to half a cup. I added fresh mushrooms so I sauteed them with the chicken,garlic and green onion. I also used heavy cream, aded some dried basil,and squeezed in a bit more lemon juice at the end to up the hint of lemony flavor of the sauce just a tad more. So - yeah - I changed it some, but I will be making it again. Really yummy!

I've been hanging around Zaar for a while, now and have found some really awesome recipes, but more importantly, some really awesome people.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to try my recipes. Your reviews are a bright spot in my day.
I believe that life is a collection of lessons that we must do our best to learn. One that I'm working on now is not judging those who judge others. I've come across this quote and thought I'd put it here: "The world is long on judgment and short on understanding. Judging is easy and self-satisfying. Understanding requires perspective, experience, and empathy."-Unknown
