Questions & Replies

This only shows how to make a rhubarb sauce. How do you make the rest of the recipe? What temperature to bake the chicken and how long? Do i just sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg? Do i serve the sauce on top of the chicken? What are suggested sides?

This was very easy and so good. I topped mine with pecan halves to add a crunch.
