Tip

Chopping Onions

I’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

I added corn and cauliflower. Awesome meal. Chicken was a little dry but taste was there.

Creamy tarragon chicken is so good and so easy to make. It's a keeper and one my family asks for on a regular basis. It's going in my recipe box and we'll be making it many more times.

I added fresh mushrooms to the mix of vegetables. It was easy to fix and smelled heavenly while cooking.
