I made this Dip twice. The first time it was great and the second time was a little bland. I think “Season to taste” is very appropriate here.

I made this meal twice during the week. The cook time is a little longer than I like for a weekday meal but the prep time is pretty minimal. My wife likes the vegetables so I pile up lots of root vegetables underneath. I use a vertical roaster to cook the chicken evenly. From Recipes [...]
