This was an excellent recipe, with a fabulous flavour, worth more than 5 stars. I made this for dinner tonight, cutting it in half as there are only two of us and we both wished I had made the full error. I knew from the other reviews to add the broth with the vinegar and wine. I will definitely make this again and plan on making it for my boss as well. Thanks so much for a great recipe!

I made this recipe tonight for dinner - it was totally delicious. The chicken cooked so simply in butter was lovely and tender - the sauce was superb! I didn't see anywhere in the instructions to add the broth so I added it at step 5. I served the chicken with Hash Browns a La Francais #126438, green beans and honey-glazed carrots. Thanks for a delicious recipe Beck.
