I just made this after a long day of work. Wow, easy, quick and delicious!!! There is vegetable stock in the recipe – I am sure that is to boil the potatoes – the directions don’t mention that. I used a teaspoon of “Better Than Bouillon” for chicken – just added to the water and cooked the potatoes. I also did my onions, kielbasa and cabbage in my cast iron skillet. Last night I did chicken thighs in the pan so I used the oil from that for the dish – yummy. It was delicious!!! Definitely a repeat for us here.
That’s great! Thanks for your feedback 🙂
