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.

  • If you don't have amaretto liqueur, you can substitute it with an equal amount of orange juice or apple cider.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and herbs used in the recipe to suit your taste preferences. For a bolder flavor, use 2-3 cloves of garlic instead of one and add a teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme.
  • To create a crispy crust on the chicken breasts, make sure to sear them in a hot skillet before transferring them to the oven. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
