02072009 - Hey Basic-Recipes.com I made this yesterday, I used boneless skinless chicken breast and cut it up, it took a bit longer to cook than the hour listed. It was a bit bland for my taste, but I added some Mrs. Dash and hot sauce, it was great. I will make it again. Nicole S. Douglasville, Ga
