A Big Hit!August 01, 2007By AndreaG.
"I made this side with homemade chicken kiev and it everyone absolutely loved it! One hint: mine took at least 30 minutes longer than recommended on the recipe to cook. Make sure you leave enough time for it to get completely done, you can always remove from heat and leave the cover on to keep it warm."
