This recipe is SO good! And it is pretty quick and easy as well. One thing I suggest is adding some broccoli florets into the mix near the end. This tastes wonderful and completes the meal. I also use olive oil for the chicken so that I don't have to use so much butter, and we don't taste any difference. Great recipe!

I live just south of Boston and of COURSE: a die hard Red Sox fan. Love those rubbery Fenway franks. And don't forget the sausage vendors outside after the game!! But I digress...
I live alone therefore look for simple, easy, delicious recipes. I love my crockpot. And any Italian recipe. I LOVE to read recipes!! I can spend hours on this site just perusing the delicasies!!
Besides the Red Sox and food I love to read, "borrow" music off the internet and a movie addict. My favorite actor: Russell Crowe.
