This is one of those recipes that makes me wish there were more than 5 stars! This was EXCELLENT! The sauce is to die for - rich, velvety, perfectly spiced. This recipe will go straight into my all time favorites file. So easy to make, too! I did make a boo-boo and forgot to add in the baby spinach leaves. So after serving, I tossed them in the leftover sauce and cooked for several minutes, then placed the wilted spinach around the already-served chicken. No matter, it was fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! Made for My Three Chefs 2013.1Reply
