I cannot believe this recipe had not been rated before. It was delicious. The only problem I had was the sauce didn't get very thick. I added a can of drained mushrooms and a little more lemon and brandy (could be why the sauce didn't thicken up)but otherwise followed the directions. I served it over angel hair pasta along with crusty rolls and a salad. The chicken was incredibly tender and tasty. Thanks Di for a great meal!!

This was good. I added fresh minced garlic cloves to the sauce. Thanks for posting.

Very nice recipe Di! As another reviewer stated my sauce also didn't thicken up. Still it had a really nice flavor. I just personally like thicker sauces, this one was really thin.
