I made this last night and my whole family loved it (even my 3 picky children). I made it exactly as the recipe was written. -
This is a very easy and comforting meal. I did add salt and pepper, and a diced green pepper to the dish when I prepared it. I served it with wide yolkless noodles and green beans. My family raved about the dish. I am sure it will be fixed often here. Thanks so much for posting. -
Okay...I thought about not even posting a review...but I didn't feel that was right. I'm sorry but hubby and I didn't care much for this...something just wasn't right. The flavor was not what we had thought it might be. Others have enjoyed it so it must just be OUR tastebuds. -
I've gone back and forth between 5 stars and 4 on this one....how 'bout 4-1/2? ;o) I served it with Best Buttered Egg Noodles #11107. It was very simple to make and went over well with the family; it's very much a homestyle comfort-food dish. It needed a little something extra, though...maybe garlic, a dash of rosemary, or a splash of sherry (or all three)? And I didn't have the best of luck thickening the gravy as described in the recipe; will go back to my old method when I make this again. That being said, I definitely *will* be making it again ~ it's quick, easy, economical, and popular here. I'll just add a bit more zing and use a different gravy method. Thanks for posting! -
This was an excellent way to prepare a chicken. The meat was very tender and flavorful and the gravy was delicious. The carrots were perfectly done. It was a very good meal! I did thicken the gravy. My family devoured this dish!
