I really shouldn't give any stars because I changed this, but I must say that I thought this was really good. I had a leftover avocado and wanted to use it in a hot dish. I made the avocado mixture as directed, but I made changes in the rest of the preparation. I reduced the serving size to 3-4 servings. Instead of whole breasts I used two large breasts and cubed them before flouring and browning them. Next I boiled two white potatoes, cubed them and spread them over the bottom of the casserole dish. I put the browned cubed chicken on top of the potatoes and then put the avocado mixture on top and baked as directed. Yum!

    WOW! Ellie2, this is a really great recipe! I scaled it down for just the 2 of us. But, other than that, I prepared it as listed. Although, I noticed in the directions that mushrooms were mentioned, but not listed. I happened to have some on hand and through a couple in. Also, I did everything in advance, except the final baking, and refrigerated until we were close to having dinner. Because it was refrigerated, I gave it a couple of extra minutes to be sure it was done. It was! YUMMY! Thanks a bunch!

    Really enjoyed this recipe. Did it as written (used both wine & broth) and it came out perfectly for us.
