Very Nice

This was a wonderful taste but the sauce was a little to thick for us so I added about a cup of low sodium chicken broth. My onions may have been to large helping to thicken the sauce.

This is delicious! I did add a little layer of fried potatoes. This is not an unusual variation on the dish and I just love potatoes!
