Here’s another recipe from the Wegmans Menu magazine. Although I really tweaked it, so I am not even sure it qualifies as the same recipe. I used Morningstar Farms Chik’n Strips in place of the real chicken, so I didn’t need any of the oil or butter. Also, the particular sauce that the recipe calls for (which was Wegmans Italian Classics Vodka Blush Sauce) had meat in it, so I had to go to plan B (another Vodka sauce). This was ok. Nothing special about it.
