Comments
This is another recipe that I’ve had in my files for a very long time and no idea where it originally came from. The chicken looks sort of boring when it comes out of the oven, but the flavor is anything but boring. Delicious, lemony, tender, and nice mellow garlic. I think that I might double the mushroom content the next time I make this recipe. It would also be pretty fantastic with artichoke hearts.
