"This moist tender chicken with its crunchy nut coating and smooth sauce is one of my best recipes," raves Sharon Lebold of Bayfield, Ontario. "I sometimes cook it in my electric skillet because it easily holds all the chicken."

My husband, who is usually not a fan of things not spicy, really raved about this dish and asked that it be put on our "gourmet" list.

The outside burned while the inside was still raw, so I had to finish cooking it in the microwave. It WAS moist, though.
