The ingredients, all blended, do not provide adequate flavor. Before cooking the chicken, I sauteed some chopped garlic and green onions...still wasn't enough. I even added fresh cracked pepper and garlic powder. I enjoy the quickness, just not enough flavor.

I haven't tried this yet, but it seems like the half and half would be too many calories and fat. Since I have a problem with chlorestoral, i might have to pass on this recipe, but it sure looks yummy!
