  1. 5 stars from this family! VERY good. I wasn't worried about the low-fat deal - have a growing daughter, so I used a little olive oil for the chicken and used regular Swanson's broth. The fresh plum tomatoes at my store looked nasty, so I used a can of petite diced tomatoes.Loved the flavor,and topped it with Parmesan. Definitely a keeper, and I think it would make a great summer dish - won't heat up the kitchen too much. Thanks!
     
  2. This was a very nice low fat meal! I thought it was very satisfying. I agree that it needed something. I added some seasoning to the chicken, but everyone said it needed more so feel free to add more seasoning because I agree there.
     
  3. I made this a couple weeks ago, and it made a ton! My b/f ate a bunch and then I froze half of it. It was good, but I still felt like it was missing something. I did love the rosemary! I used canned tomatoes and added some onion, but still, a little bland. I'll make it again, just try and think of something else to add.
     
  4. This was delicious. Taking other's suggestions I added onions, rosemary, thyme and onion salt to the chicken as it browned. I didn't have zucchini, so I used asparagus in its place. All together, the flavors were light and satisfying. I will make this a lot in the future.
     
  5. This was fast, easy, healthy and filling, so I'd give it five stars for preparation. I found it lacking flavor, however. I added onions, white wine, extra herbs and a splash of balsamic vinegar to boost the flavor, but it still needed something. I'm not giving up on it yet, though - I think I'll either add sweet Italian sausage or chopped portabello mushrooms and maybe some crumbled feta. I'm not too concerned about the fat content. ;-)

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
