EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Not only do we have Columbus to thank for exploring the New World, but we can thank him for nutmeg as well! He was searching for this fragrant spice as he set out from Spain to find the East Indies.

Dress up this tasty entrée with a side of pasta, rice or boiled new potatoes. Steamed matchstick-cut carrots also look—and taste—great with this nutritious chicken dish.

Very good. The combination of milk, chicken broth and nutmeg was different and flavorful. We liked the other reviews, I would season the chicken first. I served this with brown rice and mixed the sauce with the rice since there was a lot of sauce. It made a really nice, balanced dinner. Definitely will make it again.

This is awesome! The only thing I did different was seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Also dredged lightly in flour so there was no soupy issues. My husband and I loved it.
