  1. Best recipe ever! Very flavorful and delicious!
     
  2. This was a very easy dish to make although it seemed to be missing something. Thanks
     
  3. This was pretty good, but the flavor of the sun dried tomatoes was a little too pungent for me. I will definitely make it again but extend and thin the sauce with a little more cream.
     
  4. I am half-way on this recipe. As stated by another user's rating, the chicken is not infused with the flavor. However, the chicken was juicy. The cream sauce also did not thicken to my liking so at the last minute I added a combo of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone. It was very tasty this way, especially with sun dried tomatoes and garlic flavor. Next time I will grill chicken strips separately and serve over the bed of pasta. I do not think the flavor of the sauce will be impaired by the omission of chicken. TY Geema! I've been eating on this for a couple days now :)
     
  5. This was really nice, I started making a similar recipe but then converted to this one halfway through cooking as the other was quite bland. This one has a very nice flavour. I served the sauce over chicken schnitzels.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.&nbsp; As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic.&nbsp;<img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.&nbsp; But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.&nbsp; What a complete turn around it was to&nbsp;pass up&nbsp;all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat!&nbsp;<img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p> <p>&nbsp;The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain.
