This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was cooked through and the vegetables were still slightly crisp.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this dish. I'm not usually a fan of black-eyed peas, but they were cooked perfectly in this recipe. The chicken was also very tender and juicy.
