This recipe was a life-saver! Our electricity is out in half of our house due to 24 inches of snow. We can't use the stove, so I hooked up an electric skillet in another part of the house. I didn't have fresh chives or green onions and didn't use the booze. I only had dried parsley. I added fresh mushrooms to the broth before pouring it over the chicken. It tastes awesome! The chicken was tender and so were the mushrooms and the sauce is really delightful! I am going to make this again once I get my kitchen back. It was fast, easy, and delicious!
