I made this for Mothers Day - the whole family loved it!! I did however change a few things around. I used a can of fat free chicken broth instead of the water and chicken boullion, I also used a bag of garden vegies (steamers), could have used two bags according to my kids. By using the chicken broth it gave it more flavor than when I made it according to the receipe. Wonderful dish - easy to make and easy to warm up for later.

Great recipe, and so versitile! I made mine with carrot, Chinese eggplant, and chickpeas in addition to the veggies the recipe calls for. Just remember to cook veggies like carrots a bit longer. Also a great recipe to "make-ahead."
