This was just wonderful! (this picture does not do this justice, i will take a new one the next time I make this) I added mushrooms(its a sickness i have, i add them to everything:)) and I also added alot more garlic(another sickness) I over cooked the chicken just a tad but that was of course my fault and not the recipe. Thanks Cheryl for ANOTHER great recipe!:) I will be making this often.
