    Very Good

    This had a lot of flavor and the meat was very tender. I served with white, spanish style, rice. My 5 year olds even liked it. I wouldn't change anything. - 6/17/09

    Incredible!
    I REALLY loved this recipe!! I left out the vinegar because I didn't have any in the kitchen and also added about 1/2 cup of sliced green olives. Will definitely make this again. SOON!! - 6/22/11

    Incredible!
    This was absolutely juicy and delicious and held up well to use as left overs. I used red and yellow bells peppers for a milder pepper flavor. - 9/4/10
