This one will be a bit unusual as I posted a request for Brocolli chicken and the gracious Lady Di (no pun intended) responded with this recipe and suggested I add brocolli. I did and the results were fabulous. No I did not have walnuts so that changes it up a bit (hence the name) but the flavor was excellent. I followed the recipe exactly only I removed the chicken long enough to saute some brocolli crowns for 6 minutes and added back the chicken and incorporated the sauce. The end result was a very velvety chicken with a wonderful sauce. We were really impressed with how tender the chicken was and my dh said it was definitely restaurant quality. Thank you so much Di for the recipe and next time I will add the walnuts (but the brocolli was nice too!
