Introduction

An easy dish that can be put over rice or noodles.

*Note* : Yes. The fat content is a bit high, however, I used normal cream cheese instead of low fat in order to have more flavor. Im sure changing this would decrease the amount of fat. An easy dish that can be put over rice or noodles.

    Very Good
    This was a delicious change of pace. I used 3/4 cup of skim milk and omitted the water. I also cooked up some tricolour couscous
    about 1/2 cup cooked and place that below the chicken and spinach sauce. Did not matter how runny or thin...it was a delicious change of pace. i used LITE cream cheese     - 12/23/11
