Adapted from Rachael Ray - 30 minute meals - A combination of boneless skinless tenderloins or breasts and thighs well lend to a more rustic, "cooked all day" taste. A very comforting meal on a cold day.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt, or omitting it altogether.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was very good. I would recommend using a different cut of chicken, such as boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
