A very good friend of mine gave me this recipe back in the early 90's, but it wasn't this 'skinnied down' version. Her recipe called for using a lot of butter, making a roux and, etc. We really enjoyed this chicken, but both my hubby and me were watching our weight, so I trimmed down her recipe and came up with this one. When you're watching your weight and looking for skinnier recipes, I hope you'll try and enjoy this one.
