You all need to slow down and read what the editors actually wrote before getting excited... they said "users are not REQUIRED" - capital letters are mine to show the key word. They didn't say you couldn't - just that you don't have to. I love this site!

editors of RecipeLion - Why would you not want comments and/or suggestions? Personally, I like the suggestions, especially if it makes the recipe better.

Thank you! I always read comments to let me know suggestions, corrections to the recipe, and to get a general consensus how the recipe worked out for others before I attempt. Sometimes the recipes are not well proof-read and other cooks catch the mistakes before I make a big mess. Keep posting!

I made 1/2 of the recipe. I used chicken breast and also used only chicken broth for the liquid amounts. (no white wine) It was quite flavorful. I will put it in my tried & save file.
