Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Substitute an additional 3 zucchini for the yellow squash.

How to Select the Best Zucchini

For best results, select small zucchini for recipe use. Because they're younger, they have thinner, more tender skins and smaller seeds. The skins should be free of blemishes and have a vibrant color.

My son loved this recipe and I added more seasoning, mushrooms and onions. It was very good

We liked this one but thought it needed more seasoning. We also diced the chicken up so it was bite size.

This recipe was good but I added some cooking cream to the veggies because this dish needed sauce. I also added salt and pepper to the veggies while they were cooking because it was so bland, especially for picky eaters! I will make this dish again with the cooking cream and added salt where needed.

This was alright, but definitely not our fave. Thought I would try it because we grow basil, squash and zucchini but it was very bland.

I made quite a few modifications to this recipe, but it was amazing. I cooked the vegetables longer than suggested and seasoned them while cooking with a little extra seasoning. I also used chicken broth instead of the water from the noodles. To make it a little healthier I used whole wheat noodles and not even half the cheese it called for. I'll definitely make it again.

I just made this dish. - it was excellent. I am on a low salt diet and this fits the bill. I will certainly be making it again.
