Yummy! My dinner guests were impressed! Made with all the ingredients listed (except I forgot the cilantro at the end). I browned the chicken, then the vegetables and turned it all off for a bit. That way I was able to give my attention to my guests and just added the broth and finishing ingredients back on when I turned on the basmati rice. Easy. Lovely dinner. Thank you so much.

Canadian girl that loves to cook for herself and for everyone around her!! I always enjoyed cooking but more so since I started taking better care of myself by eating healthier food (I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member!). I still love my chocolate though!
