Super tasty! I love that it is much lower in calories and fat than most of the other recipes. I didn't have any white wine so I used apple juice instead, worked great. I have had the full calorie version as well, I thought this tasted just as good. - 1/7/11

Good, easy dinner. A bit salty. Next time I will reduce the salt by half. - 5/10/12

Since I have none, I omitted the wine & added extra chicken broth. This is yummy! I have made it previously, & am glad to now have a lightened version. - 3/27/12
