I have been making this recipe for about 20 years - not sure where I got it - it's handwritten on a scratch piece of paper. Mine calls for 3 T. flour and 4 breasts. Thanks for posting! -
I found this one in Light & Tasty Magazine and was going to post here until I saw this one. The only change is the magazine recipe called for 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts . I used only two breasts but made the whole recipe of the sauce. Very easy and delicious. It will go into our Tried & True folder.

It has to be easy and very yummy for me to make it. I don't have a lot of time to shop/cook so we function by the KISS philosophy at my house.
