  8. Thank you for posting – looks absolutely delicious! I love that this is a gluten free recipe too, which makes it handy for when GF family members visit. It's something a bit fancy that everyone can enjoy =)

  9. I can never source quality chicken breasts, supermarket breasts are disgusting, full of tough sinew and water.

  10. Just made this and it was absolutely delicious!!! I did the chicken stock and lemon substitute for white wine cause I didn’t have that on hand and it was still amazing, can’t wait to try with wine.

  11. Delicious meal thank you ! Because I am counting calories at the moment I substituted with creme fraiche low fat version and added mushrooms, worked really well. New subscriber !!

  12. You cannot get it any easier than that, even a novice can get away with cooking that , one for tonight methinks. Excellent recipe indeed !
