Very good. I used olive oil instead of butter and apple sauce instead of apple juice. I would prefer apple juice. Everyone loved this! - 2/22/08

This was REALLY good!! Very different and fresh as my husband put it. I also used olive oil instead of butter as others had suggested. As sides I made oven baked potatoes with different seasonings and peas. Will for sure make this again! - 7/1/15

I just made this for lunch, fantastic! Indeed, something I'd never have thought of but so simple! I used a decent Bordeaux vin blanc sec. The sauce makes this dish! It's just so good. You are right, I think it would be perfect with mashed potatoes to sop up this delicious sauce. Will make again - 6/17/09

Amazing! I used olive oil instead of butter, but it was simply delicious. Not a combination I ever would have thought of, but my husband told me tonight it's the best chicken he's ever had. :D - 5/15/09
