Good base recipe, but needs some seasonings in my opinion. I added fresh garlic, thyme, and basil. Also added fresh mushrooms, and used boneless skinless chicken breasts. Instead of microwaving the vegetables, I sauted them in the skillet after cooking the meat.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
