I’ve been making this recipe ever since I left home. It was one that I copied out of my Mom’s recipe books, and I have no idea where the original recipe is from. I’ve seen many similar recipes, but none quite exactly like this.
This is an ideal “last minute” dinner because you only need to marinate the chicken for 15 minutes. That’s my kind of meal!
The original recipe calls for chicken breasts, but all we had on hand tonight were thighs, which were equally delicious!
The picture is not up to par, but hubby said, “You’d better make it quick!”, so I only took one, instead of my usual 18 shots. As in pictures. Not alcohol. I would never.
