I made this as directed, lovely recipe, chicken was very tender and succulent and all the flavours blended together very well!! I did have to add more liquid, I felt the initial liquid was absorbed very quickly and the end result would have been a bit dry. However, I do like sauces and 'wet ' food, so that might have been just me :) We liked the addition of peas and mushrooms, gave it that something extra. very nice dish, made for ZWT 8, thank you, FLKeysJen!!!Reply
