My husband loved this dish and it really was easy! I'm going to make it over slightly for me (a lot more calories than I need), but a great, easily adaptible recipe. I sauteed the chicken (don't have a GF grill), and served over angel hair pasta. I will definitely be using this recipe again! - 3/13/07
