We loved this! I only used 2 chicken breasts, but decided to keep the sauce amount the same. I served it over whole grain egg noodles and it was delicious with the sauce. The only other change I made was to omit the gruyere cheese. I'm sure I would have loved it, but my DH doesn't eat cheese. The recipe is still delicious enough to put into my best-of-the-best file. Thank you!

This was delicious! The sauce stole the show. I will use this sauce on pasta as a side often, it tastes SO good, not too tomatoey (is that a word?), and not bland white sauce. It is tangy and very tasty! I made half again as much sauce as called for to have more for the egg noodles I was serving it with, and I added 1 teaspoon of sugar to the sauce, because I just thought it needed it. I was a little afraid the dill would be overpowering, but it was not. I seasoned the breasts before sautéing, and added more almonds to the sauce and some on top. (Love almonds!) It was ooohed and aaaahed at the table tonight. I will definitely make this again! Thanks, CaliforniaJan, for another keeper! ZWT9
