This is a lovely, simple family meal, that we all enjoyed. The fresh parsley and sour cream at the end really gave it a refreshing lift. It was so easy to do, I made it at work again today (multiplied the recipe by 3).

This is to die for. We devoured this tasty comfort food. I made it using 4 chicken thighs and followed the recipe. This is a great dish to make for company served it with a side salad and stuffed zucchini. I will be making this again and soon, Thank you Sueie.

This is a really good tasting recipe. I tweeked it a little and used chicken broth instead of water and added a handful of frozen potato gnocchi to the bottom of the casserole dish. Excellent results. The starch from the potato resulted in a creamy gravy. Thanks for posting.This is a definate keeper.
