This was one of my husband's favorite recipies for chicken, and he doesn't like chicken at all! So glad I saved it in my recipie files, he would've been very upset.

This is a delicious recipe. Made it awhile ago and also added some red pepper. Will definitely make it again.

Very good dish! I added the red pepper flakes as suggested as well as sliced mushrooms and chopped artichokes. I'll surely make this dish again!!

This was very good, but I added some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little heat. My family thinks that was a very good idea. Nothing left over for the next day.

I have made this for my family, thumbs up! Now I would like to prepare this as a main course for 30 guests. Cooking in a skillet would seem to take some serious time. How would I prepare this same dish using an oven. Either a conventional or convection oven? Thanks for the great recipes. Carl
