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.

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.
