Sauteing the chicken in wine and spices leaves the breasts too bland, even when covered with the sauce. Marinating it would be better, but I’m not sure which to use. Any comments.
Antonio
I haven’t had this in a long time, thank you for exceeding the flavor of my memory.
Amber
I followed the recipe and the result was amazing! Tastes just like Queensland pasta. This is what i order at Outback every time. This recipe is delicious and simple.
Laura
Oh my, this sounds absolutely delicious!

It’s been years since I ate at the Outback but it used to be one of my favorites – I always used to order grilled shrimp on the barbie and the shrimp came on a piece of black bread with an absolutely great dip [probably with horseradish] that made me want to lick the bowl so I wouldn’t miss any. Do you have a comparable recipe?

There is also a little lemon juice in this sauce. By the way, sauteing the chicken and shrimp in wine doesn’t taste right to me. I like to marinade and grill them instead. Yummy
