Garlic Chicken With Vegetables

Submitted by Watkinslady30

"Garlic adds a lot of flavor to this dish. The long cooking mellows the garlic out and adds a lot of flavor to the chicken and vegetables. This recipe can be made ahead of time and baked later. I often add additional seasonings like black pepper, onions, etc. depending on my mood."
