Author's Comments

This is probably the most simple dish I have come across. It is great to use with left over chicken. Just make sure you reheat the chicken before pouring the sauce over it. Another method I have used is to remove the chicken from the bone, in pieces and, after reheating, if needed, add the chicken to the sauce and serve that way. Try a variation and add about 1 or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the sauce. Even more delicious.
