Expert Tips

When a recipe calls for diagonally sliced chicken, put it in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes first. The meat will firm up just enough to make diagnoal slicing easier.

Great dinner. I would doubled the parm and basil, also add garlic. For the leftovers I added a box of mac and cheese. Next time I make this I think I will start with mac and cheese and add the sauce next and bypass the other pasta. Cooking the broc. with the mac noodles instead

this was pretty bland. I seasoned the chicken with garlic powder and pepper and it was still bland. I didn't add the mushrooms because my husband and kids don't like them. I think that might have helped though. I'm not sure I would make this again.

We had this tonight for dinner and it was really good. I loved how it was easy to prepare and fast. Around our house that's really important. It was a great meal to prepare with left over chicken I made the day before. I would definitely make this again.

This was very quick and easy to make, and my family loved it. I did add garlic while cooking the chicken, and a little bit of shredded italian cheeses when finished.

I loved this recipe! It was easy, tasty, and low fat. Next time I will add garlic, a pinch of salt, and red pepper!
