Excellent!!!!!!!!!November 19, 2009By shaneandkris
"This is now one of my familys new staple meals. I actually crave it weekly. I substitute chicken broth for the wine since I usually don't have wine in the house. The chicken is so moist it falls off the bone and the sauce is delicious. Very easy to prepare but it does take a little time LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
