     I enjoyed this a lot. My husband loved it. I was out of wheat so had to use white flour, but will try with wheat next time (there will BE a next time). I will make with a little more "sauce" next time as the flavor was so great. Used 1 bullion cube instead of loose granules. (Could reduce the egg.) - 3/17/09

     I only simmered for 5 minutes, otherwise that thin chicken would overcook. - 11/10/19

     Our local news channel's website featured your recipe and we tried it last night and LOVED it. Great flavors and tastes wonderful. I'll definitely be making this again. - 2/18/08

     By my reasoning, the chicken should be cooked before it goes back in the sauce, so I only added it back to the thickened sauce for a short time. - 6/23/21
