OH WOW! This was such a quick, easy dinner and the whole family loved it! I used cooked chicken and topped it with shredded parm and pine nuts. To make it a one dish meal, I add 2c. cooked brocolli or spinach. My husband has been begging for more, so this recipe has been added to the "recipe rotation".

This recipe was delicious and so easy to prepare! I added a bit of parsley to the original recipe, which really made the flavors pop. Definately a keeper.
