  • “This was good.I served each breast over a bed of thickly sliced sautéed mushrooms and onions and served with homemade oven wedges.This is a good weeknight meal – easy to prepare and quick to get on the table.Thank you for adopting and editing this recipe KC, it was fun swapping recipes with you. :)”

  • “I am not giving stars because of the changes I made.I used skinless chicken thighs, whole and did not flour them.The sauce did not thicken up to a consistency that I would like to have used over rice.It was a bit rich, probably because of the amount of butter, yet it was a little bland. I was not able to discernany flavors in the sauce except the butter and abit of lemon juice.The chicken did turn out very moist and tender, which we loved. It was truly a simple recipe to prepare, which is always important to me. I would like to have more garlic flavor and perhaps some crushed red pepper to add some zing!KC, I eagerly await your tweeking of your adopted recipe! Thanks!”
