Very nice flavor, i loved this! I left out vinegar and mushrooms per my taste, and added extra cheese. Loved the blend of light fresh tastes in this, it would work very nice for a summer company chicken dish. Thanks for posting!

Made this as a chicken dinner to take to a neighbor couple for whom I sometimes cook, & they were most appreciative, & with the leftovers, as well! As with many of these kinds of gifts/dinners, I also gave them a copy of the recipe! Just keepin' the neighbors happy, thanks to your recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for the lazyme cook-a-thon]
