Russian Chicken Breasts

Submitted by Cecily Parsley

"Nice, tangy main course. Yet another clipping from a magazine. I am usually a purist and prefer to do things from scratch rather than use pre-packaged ingredients, but...there are exceptions when something like this is welcome. It uses several pre-packaged ingredients you're likely to already have on hand."

This was a great chicken recipe, and very easy to prepare. Would highly advise it for a change to otherwise boring chicken recipes. Did not transfer it from skillet to baking dish though. Simply drained my grease from skillet and put topping on and baked in skillet. Big hit and only 2 dishes to wash.
