This Chicken Dish is one of my all time favorites! It is so easy to make yet its taste is so luxurious. I highly recommend this dish to anyone who needs a break from their chicken dinner routine. another bonus is that I had most of the ingredients on hand already and even if you don't this recipe will not break your bank! recipe adapted from Martha Stewarts everyday cookbook.
