A new (for me) chicken recipe

I tried a new (to me) chicken recipe this evening. It was a Martha Stewart Everyday Food recipe, which I typically have good luck with. I picked it because I had some leftover chipotles that I wanted to use and I liked the idea of a one pot dinner. I made a few changes - used some cherry tomatoes that I had on hand instead of the larger ones the recipe called for, I didn't use quite as much meat as the original recipe, and I used half a yellow onion instead of red because that's what I had.

Overall, this one is a keeper. 2 chipotles made it pretty hot. I like hot, but I think I'll cut back if I make this again. I might also swap out some chicken breasts instead of thighs. The thighs are cheaper (I can get organic for $2.89 a pound if I'm at the meat counter when they are marking them down), but I think breasts lend themselves to this style of cooking better.

Tomorrow I'm making white bean and rosemary soup in the Crock-Pot. It's a delicious recipe that I got out of a library cookbook and doctored a little bit. I'll post the recipe tomorrow.
