"This is an excellent recipe. I've made it with both chicken breast and pork tenderloin. Can't decide which one I prefer. I found this to be fairly quick and simple to make. My family loves it too. "

Absolutley a hit w/ the family, delicious. Didn't have chive so used scallion from my garden and I dipped the chicken in buttermilk prior to dredging in corn flour. JeannieM, Braintree, Ma	8 weeks 2 days ago
It's easier to buy thinly sliced chicken breasts so you don't have to smack away at the chicken (altho it might be a nice way to take out aggression!!??!) When I went into my fridge I discovered that my chives had gone bad and I had no sour cream. I decided to do my own version.... I chopped up fresh Rosemary instead and added 2 slices of lemon to the sauce. Instead of sour cream, I had plain yogurt in the fridge (mixed 2 teaspoons of flour with it to make it thick like sour cream). My dad licked the plate clean and said it was the best chicken he had ever had in his life!!!! I have yet to do this real recipe, but I have to admit, I've made "my" chicken version 2 times this week, that's how good it is! Give it a try! You never know what magic you can come up with!

This was a huge hit with my picky family! Anjila, Colorado Springs, CO	8 weeks 2 days ago
Substituted turkey chops. DELICIOUS!!! Myra, Chalfont, PA	8 weeks 2 days ago
This is a great recipe because it adapts well to approximations. As a single who loves to cook and loves leftovers, I just used the recipe as a guide and disregarded actual measurements. Still turned out absolutely delicious. The leftovers were yummy as well. I made this with my special rice recipe and simple asparagus, which I cooked in the same pan as the chicken (they were skinny). Lola, Lansdale, PA	8 weeks 2 days ago
Very good. Family really enjoyed it. I used wheat flour instead of all purpose which seemed to start to overbrown really quickly, so you have to watch it, but it turned out deliciously. Next time, instead of shallots, I think I will just use a cup of onion -- onion is cheaper, and I don't think the flavor is much different. Jamie, Bradenton, FL	8 weeks 2 days ago
Easy to prepare, though it took me longer than 35 minutes - more like 45-60. Tasty, but not overly so. Substituted homemade nonfat yogurt, because my light sour cream had gone bad. That may explain why the sauce was a little thinner than I would have liked. Christian Michael Clough, Takoma Park, MD	8 weeks 2 days ago
I cut up the leftover chicken into bite-size pieces, warmed it up, then mixed the chicken and sauce with cooked whole wheat spaghetti and green bean pieces (added beans to pasta for last 3 minutes of cooking time) for a tasty, fast dinner. It would work with any other complimentary vegetable as well. Jeanne, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI	8 weeks 2 days ago
