This chicken turned out great! So easy, and so moist! I purchased a pre-seasoned chicken, so didn't use the spices. Also, I covered the center hole on the bundt pan with foil to eliminate the need for a pan beneath. I cooked the chicken for 90 minutes, and the veggies weren't quite soft and the chicken not browned all the way down, but the chicken was at temperature. I turned the oven on convection and cooked it another 20 minutes. Everything was perfect, even for my fussy teenagers. Next time I will use convection the whole time, and cut the veggies a little smaller. Thanks, ElaineAnn!

This turned out great! The vegies had a rich, chicken broth flavor and the chcken itself was juicy. I have a smaller bundt pan so just used half of the vegies, but that was plenty for 2 of us. The only thing I changed other than that, was adding 4 large peeled garlic cloves. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

We loved the flavour of this chicken! It was very, very tasty & evenly cooked & very juicy! However, the vegetables just sat in the excess margarine & drippings & even after an hour & 45 minutes, they still weren't cooked through.
