My sister reminded me this morning I neglected to review the dish. The overall feeling was that the chicken was delicious, but the veggies were mush, so I’d like to do those separate from now on. The chicken was NOT boiled tasting or “wet” but rather a perfect texture. And dinner was ready when we got home, which meant we had time, for once, to watch a movie!

Score!

  • 2 pounds chicken pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
