Great recipe ... just as a suggestion, I would cut the chicken into smaller pieces .. maybe 1/2 inch to make sure they were completely cooked, and some sliced olives would be a nice addition to the dish.

I have had this recipe on one of those recipe cards you get in the mail for years! It is something I like to make quite often, but not often enough to remember it by heart I guess!! I was ready to make it again, but couldn't find the recipe so I came searching and here it is! Thank you so much for posting! The flavors of this dish are light and delightful! Yum!!!!!

This was good!! Simple and quick to make and with very good flavors. I realized at the last moment that I was out of broccoli, so used the optional variation of peas. My kids loved it, too! Thanks!!
