    This was good but I thought just a little bland. Next time I will increase the red pepper flakes and maybe add a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce. My husband suggested some curmbled blue cheese and I might try that as well, obviously taking into consideration the added calories and fat. - 7/15/09

    I thought it was really good. Since I love veggies I added broccoli, bell pepper and zucchini. My three boys loved it also and that is always good to get all that nutrition into them. Thanks! - 9/14/08

    Chicken and potatoes two of my favorite things. I don't care for spicy stuff (pepper flakes)to much anymore. Next time I will omit them. But this was very good - 9/13/08

    I really liked this dish. However, I substituted chicken breast for the thighs. I also added some broccoli tops; it was yummy!!! - 9/13/08

    For a difference, I left out the mushrooms and red pepper flakes, and used thyme, sage, rosemary, and black pepper instead for an old fashioned chicken "gravy" taste and used corn starch rather than flour for Gluten free thickening. - 9/13/08

    In the ingredients it only calculates 2 chicken thighs - not 4 - so calories are higher than listed. I will definitely try this, but use chix breast to save some calories. - 9/13/08

    Made with while meat and left out pepper flakes. Over rice or wheat pasta for change. - 9/13/08

    We thought this was all right. We ended up adding a couple of teaspoons of bbq sauce to each serving to spice it up a bit. Next time, I might try adding more red pepper flakes. - 4/15/08

    this was a really good recipe. We thought it might be just a bit better on whole wheat pasta or brown rice instead of potatos. - 3/13/07

    It's difficult for me to cook for my boyfriend, finding healthy dishes I like that he'll at least find edible. He found this dish incredibly amazing, which is lauds for him to say that.

    Needless to say, I thought it was very good as well. Much like using stew to top potatoes.
