Notes
NOTE: If you want the chicken to brown more, then separate the chicken and veggies into two different dishes. The cooking time may decrease by 30-60 minutes, so be careful to start checking after an hour of cooking.NOTE: If you don't have fresh herbs for the vinaigrette, substitute about a half teaspoon of dried herbs for each.
