Sweet and Tangy Rhubarb Chicken.
My sweet and tangy rhubarb chicken is a savory and warming meal full of flavor! The rhubarb melts into the sweet tomato sauce and coats the chicken with the most savory, slow-cooked flavor. You can even turn it into a freezer meal to pull out anytime you’re craving first-of-season rhubarb tang! Serve it over rice cooked in bone broth for a truly unique dinner.
