This is an old standby staple. I've been making it ever since I got the magazine version of the recipe. I wouldn't say it is anything spectacular, just a great way to liven up chicken deliciously AND get your veggies/fiber. Not too difficult or labor intensive. I hate dealing with garlic or onions(makes my hands stink forever) so I use the jarred minced garlic and a tad minced, dried onion. Recommend!
