Quick Chicken Vesuvio


I tried this recipe tonight. It is from Rachael Ray's magazine and the other week when I was off work for a day, I saw her make this recipe on her show. It looked really good and easy on TV, so I ripped it out of my magazine. It was good! It had great flavor. The only thing I would change is to add more sauce, it seemed a little dry. I adapted the recipe below to increase the broth.
Happy almost weekend!!
