This looks nearly identical to the 'Chicken Imperial' recipe I just had to get from my friend's mother. She used to make this a lot and when we would be over the house as teenagers she would put some out and we'd ravage it like wolves. I grew up not loving chicken and this recipe changed that because it had so much great flavor. I wound up getting the recipe from her later on as an adult and give it out to family members & friends. It is beyond easy and I think it's 1 of the best chicken recipes ever. Now I want to make this! Try it you will not be disappointed.
