I was not happy with this recipe. The garlic was just too overpowering for me, even the smell in the house got to be sickly. I also made the mistake of cooking carrots and potatoes with the chicken. Very bad idea. The vegetables absorbed the garlic and we could not eat them at all. The chicken itself was ok but it was just too garlicky for our taste buds.
