I was trying to look for a recipe to use up some leftover wine and I came across this recipe. I had all the other ingredients on hand so I went for it. The chicken and the wine sauce was delicious. Minimal ingredients, simple preparation and great results. This dish is full of flavor! I loved it!! - 6/27/17
