RECIPE BACKSTORY

Special Notes:

My fiance and I love this recipe!! It was orignally printed in Self Magazine. For me, I doubled the amount of garlic and will probably triple the amount next time. I also added a little extra wine and chicken broth, and the juice of a whole small lemon just to give the chicken a little more sauce. Since the recipe didn't mention how much of the Herbes de Provence to season with I have to say I went a little bit crazy and used about a 1/4 of the bottle on the 4 pieces of chicken - massaging it into both sides of each piece along with salt and pepper and then letting the chicken sit for about 15 minutes before lightly dusting with flour. It turned out so amazing! I served it with some Whole Grain Garlic and Herb rice (as you can see, we love garlic). Hope you guys like it!! :) Enjoy!

I made this recipe last night and it was awesome! The only change I made was I add portabella mushrooms to it. It was so good! Thanks for sharing :)
