Chicken Piquant

Elegant but easy recipe from an author who is adept in the kitchen as well as in the board room. She froze this in a square plastic container and took it on a camping trip. They grilled the chicken one evening and had the leftovers in a chef salad for lunch the next day. All tasters agreed it was delicious. Energy-saving tip: Plan to have leftovers. It is called planning ahead.
