AMAZING!! Had to change a couple things, i didnt find the sauce mix they recommended so i used garlic, herb and wine marinade from McCormick. I also used Boneless-skinless chicken thighs instead of bone in chicken... everything else i did as recipe said. Had veggies with it and made white rice with the small amount of remaining butter, lemon and mix we had to initially make... DELICIOUS. Will def make again..
