Well, the chicken had the whole kitchen smelling wonderful while it was cooking, but I'm afraid I can say it was only "so-so". My husband thought it was great, though. He cooked the rice, and it was a little chewy to me, so that may have been part of my problem. Also, my baby carrots were a little old, and I only had frozen peppers to put it. The chicken itself was good. I think the recipe may have possibilities, but I was disappointed in it. I think my own homemade sweet & sour sauce would have been better than the dressing.
