AMARETTO CHICKEN
I can't believe how great this was! It came from allrecipes.com. I'm not an onion fan so I used 1/2 boiling onion instead of green onions and I didn't have any tarragon so I used parsley for color mainly. I also used a jar of Green Giant sliced mushrooms. I love garlic bu t3 cloves sounded like a lot so I used 1 large clove crushed.
