"This came from Haunting Our Finest Cookbook, a Junior League cookbook from Franklin, Tennessee. I like this recipe because I'm always looking for different ways to fix chicken and the blend of these ingredients appealed to me. It's also super easy to make."

This was super easy but not super flavorful. I would chop up the waterchestnuts instead of just leaving them as a slice. I also added a 1 tbsp garlic salt and 1 tsp pepper.

Outstanding! I used chicken thighs and placed them a little too close together, so I ended up having to cook it for almost double the suggested time. Next time I make it, I'll be sure to remove the bones from the chicken and space the pieces out better, and I think it should cook faster. Everyone loved it, the bf even told me that "I had found my thing" to cook.
