Spectacular chicken that was an ease to put together and as stated in your description, perfectly easy to go do things around the house, which I did. I was able to halve this recipe easily, and this was a cinche to put together. I used cubed chicken breasts, great onions, and peppers. Really loved the cumin and the oregano. I had some homemade tomato sauce so I used this and cut back on the water a bit. The celery was a unique and great addition too! Served with some long grained rice. Oh yummy! Thanks Toni!

This was oh-so-good and a very attractive dish, too. I used 2 1/2 cups chicken breast meat and 1 1/2 cups thigh meat. I like the bit of tang that the lemon juice adds. I like that it's so easy, though I must add a caution: I left it simmering on low for too long before coming back and giving it a stir and a bit of it did stick to the bottom. Normally, I'm not a big fan of cooked celery, but I did like the slight crunch that it provided; I must admit, though, that I did reduce the amount of celery by half. I served it over white rice and accompanied it with a green salad and Ang 11002's Oven Baked Sweet Plantains.
