Wonderful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had to plan ahead to be able to locate all the ingredients; and we'll use the mandoline next time to prep the salad; but... the chicken was absolutely wonderful even warmed up as leftovers. We'll make this frequently.Read more

Wonderful!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Don't waste your money

I followed the recipe with no changes, or additions. The finished product went into the trash and we had fast food which, in... itself, says a lot. The recipe sounded like it would be very good. I'm sorry it was such a disappointment.Read more
