  1. We had this last night and DH liked it a lot. It was very moist and flavorful. I did put some onions on the bottom -- but didn't end up eating them as they seemed to disappear... Definitely will make this again. Thanks!
     
  2. I had some chicken breast that I put this on top of. Baked for an hour or so and served. Even if I did not put the seasonings under the skin it had a good flavor. Thanks for an easy recipe.
