I have had this in my cookbook for a while and been looking forward to making it. But the first problem I had was after baking for 20 minutes, it was still not cooked, so I left in oven for about 40 instead. After cooking, it smelled wonderful but the taste was just OK. I REALLY wanted to love this. Im sorry to give it just 3 stars:( -
What a easy recipe. The taste is mild and I think I would like a tad more zip but DW like it as is.I was not sure what to do with the onions when serving . I topped the chicken with it and I am glad I did. I would consider adding it to the directions . Thanks for a excellent recipe. Made for PAC fall 2012

Toronto resident, and hobby restuarant junkie, I decided that 2004 was me year to start eating like a grown up. I took up watching the food network and started getting an organic food box delivered to my door once every week. All those wondering how they can 'force' themselves into a healthy eating habit, I recommend getting a food box of some kind. There's no tactic more effective in the war against kraft dinner than having a bunch of brocolli you have to get through before the next box comes...
