NOTES:

This is an excellent recipe for people on the go! Just start it in the
morning and by 5 or 6 pm you have dinner! You can even get a package of
mixed frozen vegetables if you don't have time to chop fresh ones. We've
found that buying a whole chicken is cheaper than to buy one precut. The
chicken almost falls off the bones it is so tender and it makes taking out
the bones easy! We serve it in bowls over rice; like chicken soup. It makes
a large amount and lasts at least 23 meals for us. I hope you enjoy.
