Delicious meal. I love that it is a complete meal in one, too! I really loved the creamy aspect of the recipe, which was perfect served over rice. I just love when a simple recipe is also fufilling and tasty. Thank you for posting this winner! Made for Please Review My Recipe in the Cooking Games with Friends forum. -
Made half a recipe and it was very good. Mine didn't thicken up like I wanted (almost like a soup) Will have to add more cornstarch or cook the sauce longer. -
We both loved this homey comfort recipe. It was so easy to make this to please both DH and myself, I just ask him to take his serving before I added the sour cream to the rest. The flavors are mild and who doesn't love rice with a gravy or sauce? It's easy and quick to make and makes you want to sit on the sofa with your feet up and the tv on for dinner. -
Easy, warm and filling. I used sliced baby bella mushrooms I had on hand and fat free sour cream. Leftovers reheated well for lunch the next day too! Thanks for sharing!

Great comfort food for a cold winter night! I steamed my chicken instead of frying (to save on fat) and sauted the veggies in a non stick pan with a spray of canola oil cooking spray and I used reduced fat-sour cream. This is a simple tasty easy peasy weeknight meal! Next time I think I might try brown rice! :) Thanks for posting! :)

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
