    I made this, however it was a little dry so we added some soy sauce and it was very good. I would make it again. - 1/28/08

    Incredible!
    I love this and my kids absolutely love it! It's easy, fast and wonderful. I used vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and fresh dill, basil and thyme! - 10/1/07
