  1. I find it hard to believe that this has never had a review till now. I think it's a fantastic dish, and do agree that it is a meal that you could freeze for later. I made it to the recipe and wouldn't change a thing very nice indeed, and we loved it. Thank's for posting it. Made for PAC Spring 2010
     
  2. Wonderful combination of tastes! This would be especially satisfying on a cold winter day. I was out of sage and don't use bouillon because of the MSG but was cooking chicken for another recipe and used the chicken broth that had sea salt and onions in with the chicken in place of the water.
