"this might seem like alot of steps for a basic chicken dish, but this comes out so tasty & its really alot easier than it may seem!! after 10 minutes pop it into the oven & you have a half hour to clean up or just kick back & relax til serving time. i usually serve this dish with my spicey mashed potatoes & baked asparagus...yummy!!"

DH and I really enjoyed this recipe. Preparation took a little longer than 10 minutes but was well worth the effort. I like using a lot of fresh vegetables so I added a little celery and zucchini to the vegetable mixture. I substituted a leek for the onion and used a tablespoon of garlic in a jar. I also used chicken thighs instead of breasts. I served with my Rice Pilaf. The flavors of the herbs, spices (especially the cayenne) and fresh vegetables blended very nicely together. We had enough leftovers for another delicious meal. Thanks, Catalinacrawler, for posting this very nice recipe!
