Very simple and nearly complete meal! I cut the meat and tomato mixture in half because I can barely eat 1/4 lb. of meat and I didn't want to have too much leftover. I left out the mushrooms due to allergy and used dried tarragon. I served this with buttered lima beans and we enjoyed it very much. What I did have leftover re-heated well the next day for lunch. Thanks Lainey! -
This was very good. Fast and flavorful. Another one of those great 30 minute meals that is like taking a vacation without leaving home. I did omit the tarragon, as I could not find fresh. -
As Rachel Ray would say, yummo lol! I normally dont like most of her recipes but this one was diffrent. It was easy and obviously a fast recipe to make. Me and my mother both enoyed this recipe. I used one boneless skinless chicken breast and the spread type low fat no taste fake butter (lol) but cut the rest of the recipe down to two, and for once in my cooking life there were no left overs. Now what am I sopose to do for lunch now haha! Took a bit longer than 30 minutes to make, but thats because I didnt have everything pre measured and all that jazz. All in all a very good recipe that I plan on playing around with by using diffrent veggie combo and such. Very gald I made this, thank you for posting!
