This was really good! I was really surprised how good it was. I halved the recipe and only used 2 large chicken breast for 3 people. I also didn't use the 2 cups of oil and instead just used a couple of Tbsps to just brown the chicken. The directions were superb and everything came together perfectly! Thanks for posting this recipe!

<p>I enjoyed many years as a stay at home Mom, whipping up all sorts of large meals and baking of all kinds. Time does not permit many hours in the kitchen anymore, but I still like to entertain when possible and I am always searching for the latest greatest new recipe to add to my tried and true collection.</p>
