This dinner recipe can be considered as total comfort food.  The sauce is rich and creamy- it’s not light!  And it’s all well worth it.  Served over rice, this is one of my favorite things to have for dinner.

There is a story behind this recipe.  Back in college- when I was young and in love for the first time- I began to experiment with cooking for my college boyfriend.  This was the first big-time dinner I made him.  I got the recipe from a tiny chicken cookbook that my Mom had put in my Christmas stocking one year.  It sounded good to me, so I set out to make a dinner that would impress my love.

He was impressed!  We both loved this dinner so much.  I’ve kept the recipe all these years.  But I got rid of the boyfriend, of course.
