This would go great with teh pasta i'm making for dinner tonight. Perfect timing!! :)
BTW, i LOVE your giraffes!! :p I wonder if i'm related to any of them. :D
Mmm..that looks good. I'm all about new chicken recipes.
I'll let you all know later....I'm getting it ready for tonight's dinner. Easy, easy and smells wonderful.
Cairo, my giraffes were in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
The sauce sounds really interesting and I have all of that stuff on hand! I might just have to give it a go.
Honeywine, please do and let me know how it goes. I made it last night and it was very good. For my own taste, next time I will use a little less lemon juice. I did use more garlic than called for and that was just fine.
I made this the other night! It's great
