    Oh my goodness! This was so good! I doubled the squash. Next time, I'll double the cauliflower. It's so good it's hard to stop with just one serving! - 1/24/10

    OMG! AWESOME! Thank you sooo much! My family LOVED this! Even my hubby who hates vegtables and is very meat, cheese and bread kinda guy. I didn't have the montreal seasoning so I put some Mrs Dash chicken seasoning and pepper. No salt. watching our sodium. Kids didn't even know they were eating veg! - 4/26/10

    It was good but I think I would like it better with other veggies. I will try mushrooms instead of the cauliflower. And I will put yellow squash & zucchini spireled like a noodle instead of cut up. - 2/12/16

    This was a great, quick and easy recipe. I added more cauliflower and squash. I put the chicken in a large pot with some salt pepper and the Montreal seasoning boiled it and at the same time steamed the veggies in a colander on top of the pot! I used Italian 6 cheese blend. My fam loved it! Thx - 11/9/15

    instead of onions and cauliflower i changed it to broccoli and carrots (although carrots have carbs it is still a low carb). also use steamables instead of fresh if you want it quick - 10/15/14

    This was amazing!!!! I doubled the veggies and used about 2/3 jar of the Bertollii Light alfredo sauce and omitted the cheese and bread crumbs. I was expecting it to taste good but it was better than good. I didn't have motreal so I used what they call a cowboy rub....we had NONE leftover!! Thank yo - 10/15/14

    It was really good, but the serving sizes left something to be desired. Next time I will double the veggies and add more Alfredo as needed. Or I will add cauliflower and broccoli to the veggie mixture. I anticipate it bringing the calories up to about 300 per serving, but I haven't calculated it. - 6/8/14

    Fabulous recipe! So good that I can't wait to have leftovers tomorrow night! This one will definitely become a regular at our house. Just as a side note, we used Bertolli LITE alfredo sauce instead of regular and didn't miss the heavy stuff at all. We also omitted the bread crumbs.

    This was so delicious! We will definitely add more veggies next time. I also think red peppers or sundried tomatoes would be amazing in it! Use a lower fat alfredo though, keep those calories down! - 3/9/13

    Love this recipe. I had to make a few changes based on what I had in the house. I used broccoli instead of squash. I didn't have montreal seasoning so I used blackened Old Bay. My alfredo sauce had mushrooms in it, that was a bonus for me. Even my picky teenage son loved it. I will make this again. - 9/13/11

    I made this tonight but used broccoli instead of cauliflower. It was really good for a low carb recipe. For the carb lovers in my family, I offered crusty sourdough baguette as a side. I think over wheat pasta would be good for a more carb laden dish
    (just a handful of penne maybe).

    This is good. I think I overdid it with the montreal seasoning though, it came out super salty! Would be nice if there was a measurement for the seasoning to go by. When one says coat I think friend chicken type coating, covering all surfaces of the chicken. Will try sprinkling next time. - 3/26/10

    Reply from JOEKNEE (3/26/10)
    Well, it depends on your sauce as well. As a general rule, you always want to under-season and then add more to your taste.
    Certainly "coating like fried chicken" with a mostly salt based product would make it salty. I can change the recipe for those who arent familiar w/ this seasoning. Thx

    It's a combo seasoning sold by McCormick. You could just sub some kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
