Dear Sandy,
I made this yesterday, and it was delicious. My chicken still looked a bit pale, however. So, I am thinking maybe the next time I make this I will saute in the frying pan to give it a bit of color and then bake in the oven with the spinach/almond mixture on top. Very tasty! Thank you for giving me more encouragement and tools to extend hospitality to others!
Love,
Shala Glennon

Could not help but think of the last meal of the first class Titanic. It was12 courses and the reproduced meal cost $12,000! Yikes! That’s some stress! Seriously, the chicken recipe is now on my try next list. Thanks!

Sounds like a great recipe, I’ll have to try it. There are a few items where brand matters to me when it comes to food. Best Foods is one of them. Nothing else will do!!! I’ve been a loyal fan for more years than I want to count.

Hi Sandy,

This looks like a delicious meal and I LOVE how you put little “scoops” of sweet potato on the side. You are so right – – – not going overboard on the side dishes really makes it a lot easier to entertain. Even at holiday time I don’t crazy. Three maybe four sides is all I do, and it always turns out to be enough. But one side for a dinner party is perfect.

And oh how I love your idea of using mayo on the chicken. It must make it sooooo moist. I have to try this. I once saw a chef on TV does this with one twist – he mixed in a little vodka with the mayo, then lathered the chicken with it. Oh la la! ;-)

Have a great week.

Love,
Mary

My stress level depends on who is coming over ;)

I love dinner parties, it’s fun to change things up at dinner time and socialize. My favorite type of dinner party is definitely in the spring/summer season and uses the grill!

Great recipe Sandy!

Another terrific recipes, Sandy. I make something similar with salmon. Love how the mayonnaise creates a creamy “sauce”.
