This went over pretty well. I cubed the chicken prior to cooking but other than that followed recipe exactly. We love mushrooms and that was definately the dominate flavor for us.

I make something close to this only I add frozen stir fry vegetables instead of mushrooms. I did enjoy it done this way! This is also very easy to put together and with a glass of wine a perfect dinner.

I thought this was delicious! Use tbe 'better' parmasean for a sharper, more delicious flavor.

This was a very good, easy and quick meal. I served it with Lipton Creamy Chicken Pasta and it was a hit! Thank you, once again, Kittencal for helping me build a fantastic recipe book!
