I should have followed my gut and not used the tyson frozen chicken tenders. It didn't turn out edible. Next time I try it, I will use normal chicken breast. The recipe itself is a good start to something, I just need to tweak it for our tastes.

We really liked this healthy, tasty recipe. I used 24 ounces of broth instead of the 28 and 1/2 your recipe called for.Mine was a bit on the dry side... next time I will follow more exactly. We still really liked the flavors and DH is looking forward to the leftovers tommorrow. Thanks for the share.

I'm sorry to say, but we just didn’t like this recipe. I don't really think there was anything wrong with the recipe itself. I think maybe we just went too far for our taste buds. We are way too used to Americanized food. Thank you for sharing and giving me the opportunity to give a new type of cuisine a try. From now on I will proceed with a little more caution. ;)

This was great! I substituted onions for the carrots and didn't have turmeric so I used paprika but it tasted great and I will definitely make this again. I may use a bit less broth next time as mine came out a bit watery, but it was great with bread to sop it up!
