"This is too good to pass up! A 5-Star, I promise. It's easy and presents beautifully over my Instant Gnocchi (#113377) or a toasted baguette. A BH&G recipe."

  1. Found this recipe to be bland and quite greasy. Even though I cut off as much fat from the chicken as possible, it was very greasy as the fat came out in the simmering. In the reducing process at the end when the chicken was removed, the water was boiled off leaving the grease. Might be better with skinless breast fillets (less fat)???
     
  2. A nice light recipe and very easy to prepare! I used all chicken breasts, white mushrooms and a little corn starch to thicken the sauce a bit.
     
  3. best chicken dish ever!
     
  4. Bf said he thought it was ok, but I didn't like it very well. I think that too much of the chicken broth and wine cooked off, and left it with too strong a basil and thyme flavor. Just personal preference though...it's worth a shot!
     
  5. Very nice, and the SO agrees. I used fresh basil and thyme out of the garden. The only thing I'll change next time is to thicken the sauce a bit more at the end.

Recently, cooking has become my favorite hobby! It is hands-on, involves reading, and new ideas and people. Also, my honey is sure happy about it (but not the weight he has gained)!
