NOTES:
This is an excellent recipe for people on the go! Just start it in the
morning and by 5 or 6 pm you have dinner! You can even get a package of
mixed frozen vegetables if you don't have time to chop fresh ones. We've
found that buying a whole chicken is cheaper than to buy one pre-cut. The
chicken almost falls off the bones it is so tender and it makes taking out
the bones easy! We serve it in bowls over rice; like chicken soup. It
makes a large amount and lasts at least 2-3 meals for us. I hope you
enjoy.
