    Delicious! It almost had an applesauce kind of taste to it, but with a slight tang. Really good. - 8/17/12

    I was a little skeptical of rhubarb and chicken, but wanted to try something different. This was great. I was surprised how the sweet/tart rhubarb and the salt of the chicken complimented each other. Yum! - 6/23/12

    This was WONDERFUL! I'm cooking-challenged and this was very easy to make and it actually came out! Very tasty. I used chicken breasts instead of legs. - 5/14/09

    I used a boneless skinless chicken breast instead of thighs. I loved the flavor of this dish. Even my 3 yr old liked it! :) - 12/27/08
