The whole family really enjoyed this one. Lots of flavor without being too much for anyone.

I highly recommend this quick and easy dish. It has a great combination of flavors to go perfectly with each other. I added the Kalamata olives and it not only gave the flavor a nice "zip" but also looked good with the colors of the other vegetables. Great recipe, Cookin Okie, thanks for sharing.
