My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me when I first moved to Louisiana. It's been handed down in my husband's family for generations. It's quick to prepare, nutritious and beautiful. I've passed it on to my children, too. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit of a let down. The chicken was dry and the sauce was a bit too thin. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
