The only change I made was to scale down the recipe to feed 2. It's a good start, but there are some changes I will make in the future....1) The sauce needs to be thicker- I will either add some flour or corn starch and 2) The chicken itself was a little bland...I will season it with some poultry seasoning or something before adding the filling next time. We are trying to eat low carb and this was a good recipe to try...I think with those 2 small changes it can be excellent. We will try this again.

Followed exactly, and just wasn't wowed by this dish. It was edible and we didn't throw it away, but will not be making it again. Thanks anyway.

This was very good and the sauce was the perfect extra touch. Thank you.

I'm afraid my family wasn't crazy about it.

My daughters and I really enjoyed this. We're on the South Beach Diet, now, but this didn't taste like a diet recipe. Thanks so much.
