I made this one day last week and we thougth it was great, and it can't get much easier. The following is how the recipe was written. Next time, I would leave out the olive oil (not sure why its there) and maybe increase the carrots. Nutrition information came directly from recipezaar, so you may need to tweek that a little if you have large chicken breasts. I served this over brown rice with a side of broccoli.

    HA I love that the saying is "easy as pie" because pie (from scratch) is pretty labor intensive and not very easy (compared to other things)

    we should say easy as pizza. (sit on your couch till delivery guy shows) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Oh looks nice :)

    My wife makes a similar one. Same spices etc but a few other ingredients.

    1 can of apricots in juice
    1 can chick peas
    Huge bunch of spinach (add at the end of cooking)

    Nice texture from the chick peas and a little sweetness from the apricots.

    This sounds yummy, what kinda taste does the chicken have, is it spicy or sweet, is there anything that it can be compared to?
