My grandmother made this for me all the time. It's so comforting, reheats well, and is great the next day. Serve hot with crusty bread and enjoy.

This dish was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was incredible.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland. I think I would add more spices next time.
