A Recipe

I'm really busy at work so I thought I would post the recipe for the dinner I made last night. It was wonderful! The thing that took the longest was cooking and cutting the chicken and then cutting the veggies. If anyone has a suggestion to getting "cooked, cubed chicken" fast, let me know, because a lot of the recipes I like call for that.

Anyway, here you go...it was really good and the kids liked it too!
