This was good. My husband and I don't care for legs and thighs so I used boneless chicken breasts. I also used only 1 garlic clove.

This was a fantastic recipe. The only thing I would definatly do next time is remove the skin from the chicken. I was feeding 3 hungry men and did add extra chicken and tomatoes just because they were doing so much hard manual labor that day and I knew they were going to be hungry when it was all done. I even got fettucini noodles and that was really a nice touch as a base. I would and will make this again. The smell alone was making my husband hungry as it was cooking.
