I made this once, using one 14oz can of diced tomatoes as I didn't have fresh on hand, and found it a good but a little bland (would have given it a 3 star). My hubby said the same. I should note that I did did not dredge the chicken in flour in an attempt to keep it the recipe as healthy as possible.
After following the reviews and my mom's cooking experience, I made the following changes/additions:
- 3 cloves garlic added to the onion/celery mix
- 2 14 oz cans diced tomatoes in place of the 3 fresh toms.
- basil and oregano to taste (fresh is best, but dried will do in a pinch)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (the best you can afford)
- if using cheaper vinegar (like I did), add 1 tsp sugar to balance the acidity
Serve over rice.
This has become one of my main meals for 'brown bagging it' dinners (I'm a shift worker). And yes, the mushrooms freeze well.
Great recipe on it's own (every food preference is subjective), so thanks to Christy for posting this in the first place!
