Chicken with Wine, Garlic and Herb Sauce

Sorry for the delay in posting Monday night's feast but Tuesday saw me off to Brisbane with work of course, only to return very late Thursday night.  Never mind I had a good time this trip during my absence but have been waiting to blog again on the new fresh version of A Dash Of Flavour.  I hope you are liking the few changes that we have made to our blog.

This dish, I have to say myself, was magnificent.  In fact I think we all wanted second helpings once we had cleared out plates.  The chicken moist and tender, the sauce creamy and powerful - a brilliant combination of garlic, fresh herbs and wine.  And another easy weeknight dinner that could easily be served for a special dinner.

I love the delicateness of a cream sauce and there was no resisting this while eating.
