  1. I doubled the recipe, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I used fresh limes. It was enjoyed by everyone.
     
  2. This was fabulous and easy to prepare. The only thing I did different is made extra sauce, and I floured and quickly browned the chicken first. I also used whole skinned chicken breasts, and serve with linguini and parmesean cheese. Thanks for a great recipe that is definitely a keeper!
     
  3. Made this the other night and was very pleased. Didn't serve over rice, but I will certainly try that, or maybe pasta next time. I used the chicken bouillon cube, but will probably try chicken stock next time - maybe use chicken stock w/roasted garlic and use only 1 garlic clove (depending on my taste for garlic at that time - which I love!). Thanks for a super easy, very delicious dish - will definitely make again.
     
  4. This was exactly what I was looking for tonight! I used chicken broth instead of bouillon Great flavor quick n easy like 'haere maru'...thanks!
     
  5. I just found this recipe about an hour ago & made it. It was really good & I think I'd like it even better with some sort of white fish, since I'm kind of bored with chicken. :)

  1. This was exactly what I was looking for tonight! I used chicken broth instead of bouillon Great flavor quick n easy like 'haere maru'...thanks!
     
  2. We also make this and it's great! We use green olives in place of the capers, but I will try the capers! Thanks!
     
  3. I've also made it with lemon. It's very good! I skipped the bouillon and water, used chicken stock instead. Also we grill the chicken, make the sauce for the side! Thank you for the recipe.
     
  4. I've made this with lemon instead of lime. I didn't use the bouillon, but I bet it adds a lot. I also used pasta instead of rice. Hubby was hesitant about the capers after he smelled them from the jar, but he loved it all mixed up in the sauce. I look forward to the lime version, thanks.
