I used the butter as called for in the original recipe and used minced onion (my husband won't eat onions any other way). I also had to add more cornstarch to thicken my sauce but what a delight! I also made the spaetzle dumplings in the same magazine to accompany the chicken. Easy, peasy and very flavorful. This is a definite keeper. Thanks for posting!
