We really enjoyed this. I also uncovered the chicken for a few minutes to thicken the sauce like Peter J did. The chicken comes out moist and tender. We didn't get the saffron flavor and I threw in extra because the strands were so short. I served it with rice pilaf and recipe #359378 for a tasty meal. Thanks for posting. :)

Very good and flavorful chicken dish. I used chicken breast tenders, but other than that followed the recipe as written. This was my first time using saffron. It's hard to believe that 2 little strands of saffron can have so much flavor. With so much flavor in the chicken, I decided to serve it on a bed of white rice and a simple side salad. Made for ZWT5.
