    I made this for dinner today. I took a nice chicken breast cut it length-wise. Also used angel hair pasta (2 cups) it cooked quick & absorbed the flavors. Recommend it for all who are in a hurry & want something great to eat, - 1/7/09

    Overall very good. At first it was a bit bland, but with added garlic, onion, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, it was quite tasty. Next time, I think I'll make the liquid into a thicker sauce to pour over everything. It contained great flavor, it just wasn't used to its full potential. - 6/3/08

    I loved this, and I love that you can add any vegetables you want to make it yummy. I added yellow squash, asparagus, and carrots. It looked pretty and tasted wonderful. My husband walked into the house and said it smelled like a restaurant. With all of the added veggies, we have a ton of leftovers! - 7/8/09
