Dorothy, this was like a bit of heaven on my plate!!! I made a slight modification to your recipe. My local market had skinless-boneless turkey breast which I sliced into cutlets and used instead of chicken. My kids won't eat mushrooms (can you believe that ?!?!), but they loved the sauce, and it left more mushrooms for hubby and I. I served it with a rice pilaf and broccolli, and they all raved about this one! Wonderful recipe.

SUPER good! I have made this twice now. Once I didn't have low sodium chicken broth and man did it make a difference! Definitely stick to the recipe. As one other reviewer stated, a low-maintenance yet sophisticated dish. I always have most of the ingredients on hand so that is another plus! I haven't tried it yet, but I bet serving with some super creamy mashed potatoes would be awesome!

Made this today served with jasmine rice (mixed in sautéed mushrooms, asparagus, onion and garlic), roasted Brussels sprouts. It was AMAZING, my picky eater loved it as well and even asked for seconds. It was so easy to make, I prepped at noon and took a 2 hour break, I even had time to make homemade chocolate chip cookies then started dinner at 4:30, everyone ate by 5:30! Easy clean up too... this is all that is left

I have the Cooking Light cookbook that has this recipe. It is a favorite in our family. I've made it for 20 years now. I like to serve it with steamed broccoli with orange sauce on it (recipe also in that book). I like the chicken and sauce on rice, but once I made Alfredo noodles and my husband now expects that as a side dish. I've learned to make that 'light', too. Using this recipe again tonight since the cookbooks are packed away. Thanks, Food.com!
