Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • Cover the pan and let simmer over medium heat, 20 to 30 minutes.

This is a wonderful chicken and vegetable dish that I grew up with in Texas. I love the way my mother cooks so I asked her for the recipe but of course she grew up not using measuring utensils so this recipe is my interpretation of her recipe. Also, I used three squash varieties just because. I believe it is healthy, apart...
