Was a complete hit with my picky family!!! Chicken was moist and not pink at all. Onions were very flavorful. I used some garlic oilve oil instead and added red onions...but other than that I followed the recipe to the "T"!!! - 9/6/09

I have made this a few times and it is awesome. Everyone that I have made it for, including my in-laws, loves it and wants the recipe. My in-laws always make heavy, fatty foods that I don't particularly like so I was really pleased when my father in-law wanted the recipe...of course I didn't tell hu - 7/31/09
