Made this last night, wonderful! I made a few changes, I put in only 1 tbsp of all the spices. I left out the celery only because I did not have it:) I do recommend that if you are using granulated chicken broth (cubes or Knorr jar type) use less seasoning salt(1/2 tbsp or so) and/or salt to taste. We are a salt loving family but I do know many are not. My husband requested this to be put on the rotation:) Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is awesome to feed a lot of people. I took to a company picnic. I cut back a little bit on the oregano, but it was wonderful. Everyone is asking me to make it again.
