Chicken In Shallot Gravy

"This is one of my favorite ways to 'do up' chicken. I adapted it from an Old Bon Appetite recipe. I usually serve it with Italian bread, steamed green beans, and mashed potatoes to soak up the flavorful sauce. I used Lennie's wonderful Turkey Stock in place of the Chicken broth the last time I made this - it worked wonderfully!"

  1. Fast and easy. I also served with mashed potatoes. I might toss in some garlic next time for just a bit more taste.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am from Western Canada and have been cooking since I can remember. When I was 17 I moved to Florida for awhile to take care of an ailing Grandparent. It was there I feel I really 'learned' to cook, as I was his primary caregiver for a year. I have always loved trying new recipes, and I 'read' cookbooks like others read novels.
