I made this recipe for mine and my SO's New Year's Day Dinner. Except for cutting the ingredients in half and using thinly pounded boneless skinless chicken breasts the recipe was made as it was written. I served this with mixed veggies and Recipe #243562.Also, I made gravy from some of the remaining flour and "drippings " and it went wonderfully with potatoes & chicken. We thought that it could have used a bit more seasonings,but other than that the chicken tasted well enough to be made again. Thank for taking the time to post and, " Keep Smiling :) "
