What in the world is that?

As you know I love to cook. This is a new recipe I tried and it is wonderful. Yes, it is edible. You may be wondering what exactly is there worth eating in the dish? It's Chicken Marbella (pronounced mar BAY a). I served it over wild rice. It was scrumptious. The chicken so flavorable and the juices were wonderful over the rice. Thank you Carrie Langemeier for introducing me to this wonderful dish.


As you can tell I will definitely have to work on the presentation of this meal next time I make it.
