Here's a healthful dish that's a favorite with family and friends. While the chicken and sauce cook, I make pasta to serve with it. The moist, tender, richly seasoned chicken is something special! -Patricia Nieh, Portola Valley, California

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out perfect. The sauce was a little too salty for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.
