EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a change of pace and a little stronger cheese flavor, look for shredded Asiago cheese in containers near the other cheeses.

The chicken breasts will be super easy to cut if they are partially frozen.

This dish was absolutely fabulous. I made it according to directions and fed 6 people with a chance for 2 to get seconds. My family does eat bigger portions though. This out of the recipes I have tried this week is by far the absolute favorite and I have gotten requests to plan on making it again. It was so fast and easy to make I was able to get home after work and throw it together with no problem. I topped mine with a dollop of sour cream and it was heavenly. This is definitely a top contender!

Very good meal! I did make little changes to it. I added chopped onion with the garlic and instead of the zucchini, I used green cut up Green peppers. But it was quick and easy meal that tasted great

Great meal! These are the tweaks I made to make the recipe to my family's liking: I added some Italian seasoning while sauteing the chicken, it helped to give it a little more flavor. I also added a small onion with a few extra cloves of garlic to the chicken/garlic as well. One other addition I made was putting matchstick carrots in with the zucchini and tomatoes. Do to lactose-intolerance in the family, I left out the Parmesan cheese, and it really wasn't missed although I think it would taste wonderful with it as well. The family loved it and it is a keeper!
