This was just fabulous! I made it with Chicken Scaloppine with Lemoncello Sauce #250814. This was perfect, I did change how you made it as it seemed like alot of work...I just fried up the peas and onions in the olive oil, thru everything else in and put a lid on it...turned out perfect...I did add a little more water to it....great recipe!
