Ma's Chicken Dinner

"This is a quick and easy dinner, very popular at our house. Sometimes I put it over rice, sometimes over egg noodles, sometimes over biscuits. You can change it by varying the vegetables you use, like turnips or green beans. And the neat thing is you can use whatever you have in the house at the time! Cook time includes time for chicken to parboil and vegetables to cook."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in. In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
