I substituted chicken sausage with the chicken breasts and added capers to the sauce. Topped with fresh parmesan cheese and served with steamed broccoli. Awesome!

I loved this. My husband doesn't usually like meals with lemon peel in them, but he didn't complain about this one.

I love this recipe and will use it again and again, definitely. As for the comment about lacking taste, I think to some it may but that's the fun of finding new recipes and trying them. If it lacks taste to you it may be good to double an ingredient you think can help or even try adding something else. It's a recipe and every recipe can call for adjustments to other people's tastes, make it your own.

Great recipe. The cream cheese is a nice touch, it makes the sauce rich and creamy.
