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

    what makes this dish Amernian? I'm not trying to be funny or anything, just curious. I do eat chicken breast everyday so this recipe does sound interesting.

    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 Actually the recipe was originally made with lamb which was used in the Armenian Culture.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.
