Barb's notes: I used chicken breast in place of the whole chicken, also I adde d more mushrooms and onions and left out the green pepper (I don't like bell peppers). It was delicious.
Next note: To very this I added a little cayenne pepper to the chicken with th e salt and it added a very nice spicy touch to it. Like this very much. . May add a little salsa to the veggies next time to see how the sweet and spicy flavor turns out.
