I should review this 3 times that's how many times I have made it so far. Had friends who had been ill. Took this to them they loved it also. Mine at home I served with homemade noodles. -
Great tasting chicken! The aroma alone a five! The seasoned browned chicken combined with the sauce made for a wonderful supper. Made as posted using the wine option and genereous with the mushrooms.The orange juice and ginger add a special flavor to the sauce. A company quality meal that I know family and friends will enjoy. Made for Spring PAC. Recipe went into my Family Favorites cookbook.

<p>Updated to say that the above photo is of me and my mom, taken some 40 years ago on the Santa train in Saskatoon Sk. My dad worked for Eaton's and the train was for employees and families, a Christmas party of sorts. My mom passed away 6 years ago at Christmas time, and this year my sister gave me this photo in the most beautiful picture frame! I will treasure it always. <br /><br />I have been cooking since I can remember. Some of my earliest memories include making bread with my dad. He loved to cook, but not your everyday cooking - he was partial to making fun food as he called it - everything from fudge to home made onion rings and donuts! <br />Now I have three boys of my own and I'm passing the love of creating on to them. <br />I'm lucky to be able to stay at home with them, and I take pride in making everything from scratch - ok, maybe not Everything - we do order in the odd pizza! <br />I read cook books like novels always searching for new inspiration. My boys are not fussy so I'm able to prepare all kinds of ethnic foods and most recently have been experimenting with Indian food. <br />I Love Recipezzar and just finished my first swap - the holiday stocking swap. It was so much fun to shop for someone I had never met and then to receive a stocking from her as well!! <br />I look forward to many more swaps in the future! <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/CookbookParticipation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/Halloween/4811_180759.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
