Would have liked a bit more flavour... Also, I found the chicken dried out a bit while the veggies were cooking in the pan. Might be worth blanching the veggies while the chicken is cooking ao they're good to go when you add them to the pan. Would be a good one if you were in a hurry though. - 2/8/09
