Sauce is excellent, but need to reserve garlic for the step with the shallots, as Italian recipes stress not burning the garlic, and the medium-high sauté for the chicken is too much for the garlic. Very tasty! Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.

What an excellent dish...I made this with Pheasant...I'm always on the look out for a nice and moist chicken dish that would work well with the Pheasant that has a tendency to be on the dry side...this one worked great! We love the flavors...at first I was thinking there was going to be too much rosemary...but not to worry, you could taste it but it wasn't over powering...I did cut the recipe in half to serve the two of us with some left over...btw I used the breast of the bird and left the bone in...served it over rice with a nice broccoli recipe #464281 yummy! Thanks for posting it...:)

We prepared this dish (serving size 10) for us 4 and 2 third 3 has already gone.<br/>We had to stop one of us as he wanted more. <br/>The rich sauce is delicious and the leftovers will be more than only appreciated tomorrow!<br/>Thanks a lot for this easy and fast recipe!

I can only second what Mary said below! I served this with a side of brown rice patties (see eating well website) so the partner and I would have something to spoon that to die for sauce over!!! For a vegetable we tried Recipe #292081. I'm heading over to review that one now. But I will tell you it's my favorite new sprout recipe!

OMG! This is so wonderful, quick, easy etc. I can't say enough about this. The only thing I changed was that I cut it in half and only used boneless skinless chicken thighs. My son said this was phenomenal! Made for Recipe Tag.
