    Flavors look great. I wonder if there isn't a way to cut the oil a bit, though?

    It was from an old cookbook that was cusiines from around the world. Actually the recipe was originally made with lamb which was used in the Armenian Culture. I converted it over to chicken breasts. I forgot to mention that you can make this with lamb or chicken, which is my preference.
