Chicken Saute Sec image

This has been in my family for over 60 years. I have no clue where my Dad got it but it's one of my favorite chicken recipes. It's also great with game hens. Cook time depends on size of chicken. It's about 20-25 minutes. Just make sure chicken is done and juices run clear. Don't overcook.
