1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

My family loves this dish. A few changes I made was substituting the dried tomatoes for fresh, because I never have dried on hand, and I skip the white wine and use more chicken broth for the same reason, and I subst. oregano for the basil since no one here likes that herb. This dish is also delicious without the chicken as a meatless meal. Highly recommended.
