Made this for dinner tonight and the flavour was superb. I added chunks of swede (turnip to you Americans)because my DH and I both love it and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheap, easy and delish!! I will definitly be making this again and again. Thanks for the recipe!!

I just made this for lunch, and I know I will be making it again because my husband told me next time to use sweet potatoes and turnips in the vegetable mix. I liked it just the way it is written. Easy, cheap meal for two, Cornelia is right!

I made your Maple Chicken 2 nights ago, and my comments are: 1. I found the chicken looked a bit pale, and not brown as I had hoped it had been. 2. The potatoes and carrots, being root-vegetables would need to be cooked under a lid as they would not cook finish uncovered in 60 minutes. Otherwise the taste was OK.
