Probably THE most divine Italian chicken dish ever…!
This was a very easy recipe & instead of chicken breast I used pieces as that was what I had I I think it may have been better because it cooked quicker & was easy to serve. A very tasty dish & one you could add to eg sliced corgettes or carrots sliced lengthways. Lyn
