    Dennis, you couldn’t be more on point. First of all what kind of recipe calls for leaving in lemon peels? I made this and realized it at the last moment after having mixed everything together and all I could taste was bitter lemon peel. A quarter cup of thyme AND a quarter cup of parsley AND honey mustard?!! This recipe may have LOOKED good but it tasted absolutely disgusting. What a waste of good and fresh ingredients.

    First of all I suggest the author of this website try this recipe before they publish it. I’m an author and I’d be embarrassed to put my name on this. For those of you who read the recipe and said it sounded good, it is not. And for those of you who tried it and said it was wonderful, I want to know what you are smoking. Please tell me this; who in the world thinks 10 cloves of garlic is good in a recipe? We try a lot of nonfat and low-fat recipes because of my gall bladder and this has to be the worst dinner we have ever made. It was sour, runny and a true waste of good chicken. I would definitely pass on this and go for the fresh fruit!!! This is totally not something to make for the Picky Palate.

    I made this for my husband, and he liked it!! I have made several of your recipes and he always likes what I make!! I even have your cookbook!! You are savior when it comes to dinner!! Thanks!!

    I made this yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. I’m not really a fan of Dijon mustard or green beans,but I still liked it (and didn’t even have to pock around the green beans) and my husband LOVED it! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us and we still have leftovers to freeze. I served it over rice…definitely coking again!

    This looks amazing! I’m going to try it today. Can I use regular onions stead of the pearl onions or is there another substitute?

  15. Kalyn

    This looks great Jenny. I’d love to feature this on my slow cooker blog, can you let me know if that’s ok?
