Easy recipe, very tender pork. I added some garlic to the pork, but then again I add garlic to everything. Very flavorful meal, will definitely make again

The whole family enjoyed this healthier alternative. It was very flavorful and so easy to fix. Made per instructions, although had to sub some chicken bullion and water...still had great flavor without my usual flavorful chicken stock! A keeper for sure! Thanks for posting!

Not quite as good as the "real thing" recipe that I've made for years... however, this recipe is still excellent, and much healthier than my old recipe. Very flavorful, and a nice break when on a diet.
