This was indeed easy and tasty. My husband found it slightly bland but that was improved when it sat in the fridge over night. The left overs were 100 times better! The flavors had a chance to meld and it was so yummy. My suggestion would be to marinate the chicken in the dressing first for flavor. - 4/15/08
