Enhancing the flavor without additional fat was what drew me to try this one, but, I'll remake it often because it was awesome and super easy! I ended up using thin spaghetti broken in 1" pieces (not fettuccine) and added a half cup more matchstick carrots (1 cup total). Remarkable combination of yummy ingredients; didn't even miss the more traditional heavier cream. Try it!

I doubled this recipe and used frozen stir fry veggies for even more convenience and variety, and my family loved it and it kept well and my husband took it to work for lunch for two more days! Great recipe!

This Chicken dish was a very good one. My husband does not like chicken that much so I try different reciepes with it so he will at least try it. When it was made he told me it was a keeper except to add tomatoes in it sometime either at the end or right before it is done I give it a five
