This chicken is absolutely delicious all by itself. However, in order to spread it out among the family, I usually make it with a pasta, rice, or even mashed potatoes. The sauce makes an excellent gravy believe it or not. My family always enjoys this and I like that it doesn’t cost a fortune to feel like we are eating at a fine dining restaurant.
