What's Cookin' ?

I'm going to try a Tuesday feature that gives a recipe I'm dying to try or one my friends have been dying to get from me.  This one I searched online for, because I was an addict for Iggy's Sausalito Chicken, but the restaurant went under and no one knows that recipe by that name...but this one I found online comes closest.
