Karen.... I don't know what happened to my review, I reviewed it the first time I made this fantastic recipe,, It's a 10 star for sure.. Making it again today , checked the recipe and noticed my review was not shown. This recipe needs no alterations, it's perfect.

Delicious chicken! It would be helpful for others if you put the amounts of ingredients that you used. The guessing, when making for the first time is frustrating!
