Great dish!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was a very easy dish to prepare and it was full of flavor. It makes a large amount! It took me longer than 15 minutes... for prep time as stated. There are quite a few items to prepare and chop, but worth the extra time. Yum!Read more

dissapointed
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

After reading all the great reviews I was excited to try this recipe. When it came to eating it, it really lacked flavor, if... you ate a bite with the caper or olives in it then it had some flavor. I will not be making this again.Read more

Listing the calories
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved this receipe and most of your others on weighing in. The only complaint I have is that I would like you to list the... calories in this version compared to the full calorie version so that I can see what I am saving and can plan the rest of my meals for that day.Read more

A family or company event
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was such a surprise. So much flavor with low-fat ingredients. I prepped and chopped everything in the afternoon and let... the chicken sit with the seasonings refridgerated for a few hours. I didn't have a good tomato so I used some canned stewed which worked out fine. I used two Italian turkey sausages instead of one. After I served the children, I added some tabasco and....ooolee!!! it was perfect. I cooked some black beans to go with it. This recipe is a keeper.Read more
