This was outstanding, although perhaps not the prettiest dish. The first time I made it, I threw in all the liquid at once; the second time, waited to add the broth as directed. Didn't seem to make much of a difference in taste.

Very tasty! Loved the combo of garlic and herbs. We didn't have chicken thighs so we used chicken breasts instead but still wonderful! Great with some fresh cooked veggies too!

Simple and delicious. Perfect weeknight meal. I used vermouth because I always have on hand for 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken and love the depth of flavor it adds.
