We changed a few things about the recipe, but had a lovely meal because of the main ingredients! I added chicken to my onion, garlic, and olive oil. And for the vegetables, which my family is not crazy about, I added a sugar snap pea frozen stir fry mix. I also had to improvise since I didn't have parmesan cheese...instead I grated mozzarella cheese. The whole family enjoyed this one. I'll be fixing it again.
