Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"I made this for dinner one night with cheese and cranberry sauce, once for Thanksgiving, and again just for a regular chicken dinner," according to Allrecipes Allster Buckwheat Queen. "It is fantastic for every day, as well as special occasions.
"Delicious," raves to Matt Rubin. "The sage and vegetables give it a great flavor along with the chicken stock! And it was pretty easy to make."
