chicken a la francaise
(1 RATING)
A good dinner for two OR a great dinner for six! I make a simple rice pilaf (recipe attached). Can make regular, brown or wild rice/white by manufacturer directions. I was delighted to find my old recipe while going through my many recipe boxes. Hope you like it as much as I do.
