The story behind this recipe: If you like garlic, this is a great recipe. I was looking through a bunch of old cooking magazines the other day for some inspiration and came across this one. I had marked the page, but it had been a long time since I had made it. Was even able to re purpose the leftovers later on by shredding the chicken and reheating with barbecue sauce for quick chicken sandwiches. ~Karen
