NOTES:
This is an excellent recipe for people on the go! Just start it in the
morning and by 5 or 6 pm you have dinner! You can even get a package
of mixed frozen vegetables if you don't have time to chop fresh ones.
We've found that buying a whole chicken is cheaper than to buy one
pre-cut. The chicken almost falls off the bones it is so tender and it
makes taking out the bones easy! We serve it in bowls over rice; like
chicken soup. It makes a large amount and lasts at least 2-3 meals for
us. I hope you en |
