"I got this recipe from my mom who got it from Cooking Light Oct. 2007. Very good and pretty easy to make."

I really enjoyed this meal. I prepared it with ingredients as listed- I used two chicken breasts and included a side of small roasted potatoes and a simple salad with parmesan cheese, avocado and balsamic oil. It was really good - and comforting - good for cold weather.<br/>I was especially happy since Im not a good pan sauce maker - yet this came out zesty and had a nice taste. I used a white wine from Fairways supermarket (a $6.99 pinot grigio).<br/>Will definitely prepare again.

This was great! I had to substitute a lot of dried seasoning for the fresh (i.e. garlic powder, dried parsley, etc.) but it still turned out good. I'm sure it would be even better if I had used the real ingredients (which I intend to try)! I just moved back in with my parents and I cook for them a lot and my dad said he would start giving me an allowance if I cooked like this all the time! haha

I totally agree with Pixie - quick, easy and delish!!!! I also skipped the butter and flour and used cooking spray

Delicious, really good combination of flavours! It's also quick and easy for a workday supper. I'm watching my weight so I skipped the flour and used a bit of cooking spray instead of the butter. Thanks for posting this, we really enjoyed it.
