This is an excellent recipe that my family has loved for years. I cook it from the original cookbook and there seems to be a few changes from the original recipe to simplify it. I'll put below what is missing from original: 1) use boneless / skinless chicken - no need to pound thin. 2) 6 whole garlic cloves - they become nice and sweet when cooking. If you don't like garlic, just use less. 3) Brown chicken for 3-5 min before adding garlic and mushrooms. Turn chicken, then add liquid and thyme. (you want the garlic to brown a little before adding the liquid) 4) Step #3 = remove chicken and keep warm/covered. Heat sauce to reduce a little, then swirl butter.

<p>I've been cooking since I was a child and by the time I was 16 was shopping/planning and cooking for my family. I don't always get to cook each night and have many different palates to please but I try to cook something new each week.</p>
<p>I have an extremely committed vegetarian son so it's been fun lately to try to cook something new and healthy with him each week.</p>
<p>I would rather plan a dinner party than go out on the town!</p>
<p>I deal with difficult people all day long for work so I try to be as positive and upbeat as possible. :) :)</p>
