Kim's Bourbon Street Chicken

My sister, Kim, made this for my family the first time we had it. It's amazing. We loved it. She makes it a lot, this was only the second time I made it. It's quick, easy, and made with ingredients everyone usually has on hand. I did make a few a small changes which are noted in the ingredients. Also, I breaded the chicken. Kim used chicken breasts, just saute'd in the pan until done.
