This was really very good. I increased the butter to 1/2 cup ( I know- yikes), but wanted a little more sauce. I did whisk the flour into the butter and also coated the chicken pieces in it prior to adding to the skillet. The Worcestershire gave it just the right added flavor. A friend recently gave me a bag of dehydrated Jalapeño pieces so that is what I used. I served it over little individual cups of microwaveable brown rice as that is what I had on hand. Very simple yet tasty. Made for PAC Spring 2011.
