Chicken & Veggies

"OK, so I couldn't think up a good name. I came up with this on the spur of the moment and we all loved it -- even the veggie haters of the family ;) Amounts are approximate; I really just tossed everything in there, so adapt to your tastes! Oh, and if Broccoli Slaw isn't available in your area, sub shredded veggies of any type or just regular cole slaw mix (without dressing)"

I really enjoyed this recipe even though I totally forgot to add the italian seasoning. I was cooking in a hurry tonight. I love recipes that secretely add veggies, though these veggies aren't secret it's easy to fool someone who might not eat broccoli. I used whole weat flour to the dip the chix (I used tenders so they cooked quickly) in. I served it with roasted potatoes with thyme and a waldorf salad.
