We had this for supper tonight. It was delicious. Super easy to make. I browned the onions and chicken, placed them in a casserole dish, added the other ingredients and then baked it. Thanks for a great new dish!

I'm not typically a fan of dark meat, but my husband is. So we tried this recipe and it was great! The only change I made was I added a few cloves of garlic pressed, and I used brown rice because that's what I had on hand. I also used 2 cups chicken stock and 2 cups water, again because of what I had on hand. We loved it - and it was very easy!!
