  1. This is excellent! The sauce is especially outstanding. I made slight changes, one due to what was available at the local store. I couldn't find a 1 oz pkg dressing mix so used two 0.6 oz pkgs (Zesty variety). Instead of water I used a dry Riesling and added a couple extra Tbsp since I had a little more dressing mix. I used low fat cream cheese and threw in about 90g sun dried tomatoes with the mushrooms. Just realized I forgot the parmesan but I didn't especially miss it. Thanks for the recipe! This will be made again for sure.
     
  2. I thought that it is really good. I thought that it was missing something though but I am not sure what it is.
     
  3. This is a really great sauce and simple to make. I made a few changes after reading some of the reviews, I added a chicken boullion cube to the water and added sun dried tomatoes. I used my stick blender when I added the cream cheese, I had a little heavy cream in the frig. so I added that too. It was creamy and smooth and the flavor was MMM! Served over bowtie pasta.
     
  4. I thought this was OK; hubby didn't like it at all. The taste was good & the chicken was tender, but the recipe seemed to be missing something - not sure what. I put in some parsley & dried red pepper flakes for added flavor. I think the biggest turn-off (for both of us) was the overall color of the dish, which was a very unappetizing tan. Sorry I can't give this more stars; I probably would not make it again. -M
     
  5. Delicious! The only adaption I made was using 1 lb. of fresh button mushrooms instead of cremini mushrooms. I served it over pasta, and my family used rolls to mop up EVERY DROP of this yummy sauce! We will certainly make this again, but I may add more mushrooms, as we really love them. Thanks for sharing!

  3. This was so good - super rich and the sauce super creamy! I made a couple of changes, only because these were the things I had in the cupboard: I used dried Herb dip mix instead of the italian seasoning, with a splash of worcestershire; low fat cream cheese; button mushrooms. I think this recipe would be versatile using any dressing mix. I also used 6 chicken thighs. Altogether, I cooked on high for 1 1/2 hours and low for another 3. The chicken was very tender. I will definitely make this again.
