This was excellent and it was enjoyed a lot. I did skip the raisins from personal choice but it was still rich and well flavored. The chicken came out very tender and moist. It was served with brown rice pilaf and a carrot salad and made a great meal. * Update:I have made this again, this time with the raisins and tripling the cinnamon. DH tried it this time and fell in love saying that it's one of the best things he's even eaten! I guess there you can teach an old dog a new trick if you work on it long enough, lol.
