     This is really good! I substituted a can of chicken broth for the water and bouillon because of the sodium content. I'll definitely be making this again and again. - 12/22/08

     This is great, it's quick, easy, and great tasting. I use CKN Broth instead of bullion, reduced sodium fat free zesty italian dressing, and Kroger brand whole grain boil in bag brown rice (10 min), I also add crookneck squash, zucchini, Aspragus, onion, red orange & yellow bell peppers and mushrooms - 3/10/10

     I make this often...it's also very good with lean cuts of pork, or shrimp!! - 7/16/07

     Very Tasty and satisfying. Fills you up without tons of calories. Even my husband who hates to eat healthy LOVED it! - 3/27/07
  • MAINEROCKS
     Awesome flavor. Doubled the recipe to use for another dinner and only used 1 cube. Plenty. Might even try w/out next time as perhaps the dressing has enough salt. Chicken was tender. Used frozen pepper strips, thawed, for ease. Will definitely make this one again. - 1/1/09

     this was lovely! - 3/10/10
  • PAMNOTT
     I will be trying this again with ingredients closer to what is listed. I didn't have the low-fat Italian dressing, so mine was a little greasy. Plus, it was not the zesty dressing. Also, I didn't have dijon, so I looked up a recipe and ended up substituting powdered mustard and some vinegar. - 1/10/10
  • MAMMYCHELLE
     I substituted a can of chicken broth as well and used diced onions and bell peppers. Very good and will repeat! - 5/19/09
  • LADYBUGAMZ
     Very good. I also put some broccolli in as I doubled the recipe to feed 6 of us. - 3/11/09
  • JBANDIT
     Yum, I made a slightly altered version, cooked rice, layered
    on the cooked chicken. I thickened the dressing so it was like a sauce put on top and baked to set and heat through. Thanks for the inspiration. - 3/11/09
  • BETSEYW

  • FILLANGES
     Very good. Very easy to prepare. Big hit in my house! I used chicken broth in can instead of boulion. - 3/10/09
  • JOYS300
     Very good. I used broth instead of bouillon. My husband will eat anything with rice so he can eat health without knowing it. Will make it often. - 3/10/09
  • CD4253411
     This was excellent! My boyfriend said "on a scale of 1-10, this was an 11". I will definitely add this to my recipe box. - 2/22/10
  • CINDEELOU
     My husband and I loved this. It is easy and inexpensive. We added a little more of the Italian dressing and dijon mustard sauce, about another 1/4 cup. - 5/29/09

     We had this tonight and it is good. Next time I would add a bit more spice to kick it up some, but over all, it is a filling satisfying meal - 4/13/09
