Cluster Meeting Success: Chicken Dish from Food Network's "Cooking For Real

[casescafe]

We hosted our monthly cluster meeting at our home last evening. Everyone was asked to make a dish to share & I had the luxury of using my own kitchen, so I decided to make a variation of a dish we saw on the Food Network Show, "Cooking For Real." Sunny Anderson made this recipe with shrimp, however, I changed it around for use with chicken.

Since everyone at the meeting begged me for the recipe, I thought I would also share it with chefsuccess. So, here you go... ENJOY!
