This is an oldie, but a goodie. I was recently looking in my stupidly huge pile of recipes, trying to find one that I hadn’t ever made or hadn’t made in a long time. I came upon this one. I remember it was a favorite of my friend Nick Sodano, former tour manager of my ex-hubby’s and still a dear friend.
It’s pretty much a one skillet dish, which makes it easy clean-up, and it only takes a few minutes to cook. It’s especially yummy with all fresh herbs. The chicken comes out moist and tender. I serve it with sauteed spinach or steamed broccoli. If you or anyone needs starch with it, do a brown rice.
