Made as written except used reconstituted dry shiitake mushrooms instead of fresh button because I didn't want to run to the store. They were too chewy. This was way too bland. Everybody put a lot of parmesan on top which made it a little better. I think it wouldl have benefited from garlic and ginger in the oil to cook the chicken and chicken broth for the asparagus or maybe soy sauce. Served with angel hair pasta.

Great simple and tasty weeknight meal! I was late getting dinner going and loved how quickly this came together. I used boneless skinless breasts, otherwise made just as directed and wouldn't change a thing. Served with whole wheat pasta and there was just enough "broth" to moisten the pasta. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2014

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
