This was a very tasty dish! Nothing too difficult and no obscure ingredients or equipment. A very good ratio of effort to taste. I will say that I made two modifications. I used just a bit of olive oil instead of 1/2 C of butter. I also don't like parsley, so I used cilantro instead. Oh, and as Lori did, I also used boneless chicken breasts, and that worked very well.

I'm 41y/o wife and mother of 2. I've been a nurse for 20 years. We live in a small town in Arkansas. My passion is cooking. I love to cook anything and everything. Luckily my family is adventerous in their eating habits, so I have lots of fun trying new things out on them. I also like camping, traveling, gardening,water sports and collecting recipes. I like getting to know other people from other parts of the world. We have 5 pets, 2 dogs and 3 ferrets. My worst pet peeve is when people stick their nose up at a dish before trying it, because they know a certain ingredient is in it. I know everyone has different tastes, but picky eaters just don't know what they are missing when they turn down a dish they havent even tried.
