Very easy and quite tasty. I used some chicken broth instead of the butter to cook the chicken in. My whole family liked them -- thanks!

This is a wonderful dish. I love the addition of chicken in it. Instead of 1/2 onion, I used a whole one (we LOVE onions). Great dish, CountryRose, can't wait to make it again.

This was easy to prepare but I don't think the chicken had enough flavor. I think if I make it again I will season the chicken with some kind of dry chicken seasoning mix and prepare it separate from the pierogis (leaving the onions with the pierogis).

This was extremely easy and tasty. I make pierogi from scratch (once a year) and really only like them with kraut or cabbage. I (personally) am not fond of the ones in the freezer section, but the rest of my family doesn't mind them. But the ease and general tastyness are worth the shortcut in using the frozen variety. I added minced garlic to the pan (I add garlic to everything but coffee) and served this dish with sour cream on the side and sprinkled each dish with chopped green onion. Thanks for the recipe!

Love the perogies with chicken and onions - This is a great do ahead recipe and they reheat beautifully. I did not put the cheese on top - cut back a few calories, I used potato.cheddar perogies.I will try them with cheese another time. Hope you don't mind that the pictures are cgeeseless. They are delicious even with out the cheese Thanks CountryRose for a recipe that stays in my cook book
