Made for Photo Tag Spring 08 WOW! I honestly did not expect this dish to be very flavorful, boy was I wrong! I stayed true to the recipe and followed as stated. I did double for a family meal. My family all gave this 5 stars! I didn't even add any additional salt (or salt substitute). I did use the low sodium chicken broth, and I'm just amazed at how much flavor was really in this dish! For the chicken I used chopped up chicken breasts that were baked in garlic powder on both sides (no salt). Very flavorful and healthy! We will make this again for sure thanks a bunch!!

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
