  1. I went and got all of the ingredients and me and my family did not like this recipe at all. I would not bother.
     
  2. What a delightful dish! I doubled the sauce part and instead of rice, I cooked orzo by itself and then served the chicken with its sauce on top. Comments from my students..."I think this would be better with rice"...should have followed your recipe fully! Chicken was very tender. I also doubled the garlic because I love it.
