This was a nice and simple dish to prepare. I cut back the cooking time and still found it a little dry. However, the flavor is yummy and a nice chicken dish.

This was quite good! The dry onion soup was a little dry and a little strong so I would cut that back next time. I would also decrease the cooking time because it was a tad dry. The combination of flavours are really nice and I would try that again for sure. Made for Newest Zaar Tag. Thanks Baby Kato! :)
