    Very easy to make! Very tasty! I added a red onion in with the mushrooms and served it over couscous. I expected it to have a stronger flavor. I would probably add more thyme and black pepper in the future. Yum! - 10/19/16

It says mushrooms small sliced in half. Also someone said something about not seeing oil and it says olive oil on there. And last if not l - 1/2/19

    Easy, peasy and a good healthy version of the chicken masalas. Put it over rice with a salad, umm, uum, good! Dijon is my favorite mustard and just had to add my jalapeno peppers! - 7/16/17

    I used fresh thyme instead of dried. Will make again, wth some tweaks, because it definitely needed something. I'm thinking adding salt, pepper, and fresh thyme in the chicken marinade, and shallots to the mushrooms would fix this right up. I served over mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus. - 7/15/17

    Excellent. I have also had left over roasted chicken and used it. Takke glaze ingredients including the broth, (no oil)& cook it down in a sauce pan for 8-10 min.on low till thicker. Then add some cooked chicken to this. Sometimes even add a splash of bourbon. Add the mushrooms, onions, carrots etc - 5/30/17

    Doesn't say what temperature to bake the chicken; 350 doesn't seem high enough for only 20 minutes. - 7/26/15

    Step three above says "heat remaining teaspoon of oil..." but there is no oil mentioned in the ingredients, and none calculated in the calories. - 2/13/13

    I agree with the comments above/below. This is a great base but definitely missing something. Working with limited supplies, I added garlic, onions and a splash of red wine to the mushrooms. Bamboo shoots would also be nice to add. I'll keep trying this with different variations. - 3/22/10
