What's Cooking Wednesday: Chicken Rose

When I was growing up, one of our favorite family meals was something my mother called "Chicken Rose". It was actually a change on a recipe, "Chicken Breasts Piquant" by Marian Burros and Lois Levine, from their
Elegant But Easy cookbook, a bastion of 1960s entertainment cooking. The original calls for LOTS of salad oil and a variety of other things that don't appeal to my healthier, adult tastes. Also, I always believe that more vegetables enhances just about anything, so I've had fun playing around with this and getting it to a point where my 21st century family enjoys it. It is, as Jaime Oliver would say, easy-peasy!
Enjoy!
