Very yummy and very saucy. I realize that I did more things to this dish to make it turn out the way I wanted it to. So, I hope you are not offended but here are the additions: cooking the onion and garlic until very, very soft. Put them into the casserole dish. Then browned the chicken on all sides. Put that in the dish. Deglazed the pan with the wine and let the wine bubble down a bit. Put that in the dish, and then continued from there. I think that if you don't do these steps then it would have a raw kind of taste even though everything is technically cooked. The colour comes out golden instead of just white as well.
