I had a recipe similar to this, but it was a take-off on coq au vin and substituted rum for wine. The chef who came up with the recipe was named Kendall. The recipe was called coq au rum Kendall. When this page appeared in my search, I thought it must be the old recipe I had, and it is very similar as far as I can recall, except for the absence of rum.

I copied this recipe about 15 years ago from my older sister’s recipe box. I make it using boneless skinless chicken breaks and it’s delicious. She brought the recipe back from Hawaii in the 70’s.
