Quick meal: great way to use up misc veggies and a few cups of not-so-favorite red wine. When they say smash the garlic, do it. I used 3 boneless, skinless breasts and six boneless, skinless thighs…breasts were perfectly cooked.
They make perfect sense if you happened to notice the recipe source, “Microwave Cooking”, listed beneath the title.
The instructions on this make no sense!
