This would have more taste using 2 cups of chicken stock, instead of water, with some minced shallots.

First thanks for the tweaks! I used the chicken broth, & left out the Parmesan cheese, toned down the lemon a bit only used 1 slicing half & using juice from the other half. Didn't have a dry white, so used a sweet white wine, don't think it made that much of a difference. We liked it & would make again. Quick, cleanup a breeze, tasty. Thanks for sharing!

Easy to prepare. However, I found it a bit bland. Not sure what to add to add more flavor.
