To speed up the cooking time, cut the chicken into individual serving pieces. Or you can buy the chicken pre-cut in 8 pieces. You can save about 20 minutes of cooking time with smaller pieces of chicken.

You can save money on this already thrifty dish by using 11/2 pounds of carrots instead. Peel and cut into 1-inch chunks, then proceed as recipe directs, cooking a few minutes longer if needed.
