    Incredible!
    This is one of my favorite meals to cook - quick and easy, but still delicious. It presents beautifully, so you could serve it for company. I have made it as is, and I have left the thyme out, and either way, it's great. - 6/19/11

    Very Good
    I found this recipe in the Cook It Quick WW cookbook and was happy to see that someone else had tried it. It is definitely a keeper in our house. I used a little less cornstarch just because of the consistency that we like our sauces but it was quick and easy! - 1/19/11
