This was easy and good. I doubled the recipe for my family. I used butter instead of margarine. I'm wondering if an ingredient is missing (like milk or broth), because as written, it's very dry. I added about 1/2 cup of skim milk and it was still pretty dry.....but still tasted good. Overall a nice, quick and healthy meal that I'll make again....with milk;) Thanx for sharing!
