My husband and I loved this dish! It was really good using the beer. It caramelized the onion and made chicken so moist and juicy. I served it with roasted Yukon gold potatoes and it complemented the dish wonderfully!

I make a dish very similar to this but add a quartered fresh tomato or a handfull of cherry tomatoes and use white wine instead of beer. It is one of our favorite meals.
