People talking
low calorie version of a nomally high calorie dish(but tastes so good your tastebuds won't believe the calorie count!) I usually make a double batch of the sauce and freeze it, then the next time I make this I only have the chicken and pasta to prepare.Great recipe, even my finicky husband and child will eat this!

Great recipe, especially delicious sauce that I will use often. Thanks for sharing. -
Had this for dinner tonite and my son went crazy! He loved it! He really liked the chicken, which came out juicy and tasted great with the dijon mustard. Made the recipe exactly as written. Will definately make again.
