Reviews
I made this recipe for dinner tonight and we loved it. The garlic made this recipe good. I gave it 2 hrs and 45 minutes and it was perfect. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were crunchy-not mushy. I ended up with plenty of sauce that goes well with rice. I will be making this recipe again.
Family thought this was bland tasting.
This was very good. If you use fresh broccoli and carrots, they do not get mushy if you follow the 3-4 hour instruction. Both had good crunch.
This recipe was not that great.First mistake is cooking broccoli in with every thing else was not a good idea,I was mush which it would be if you had to cook it for 3 to 4 hours. I should have known better than to cook it for so long. Broccoli should be (somewhat) on the crunchy side Will not make it again.
