It's amazing how flavorful this tastes with so few seasonings! Have made it about 5 times now... Can just about do it without the recipe! When I have needed to feed a bigger crowd, I just use 2 whole chicken breasts and a whole head of romaine lettuce, the rest I follow as the recipe says... And I still have some leftovers! I like that! Yum!

Tasty. Easy to cook. Easy to follow directions. For a single man, these are the three main qualifiers for a useful recipe:))
