Excellent. I didn't make it with legs and thighs instead I baked it with boneless chicken breast.

I cooked this dinner for my husband and we both love it. It was quick and easy and sooo delicious. I cut out the raisins, sweet peas and sausage, but it turned out great. I will definitely make this again (with the sweet peas next time).

This was a very easy one dish meal to make. I omitted the raisins and added 1/2 cup of diced onion. Will make this again!
