I made this recipe 2 days ago and it turned out great! I didnt use cauliflower in the mashed potatoes however.. just not a fan of them. I used thin breasts and good thing I did b/c normal size breasts would have been too thick... The only thing I would do differenly is tenderize my meat, other than that it was very tasty.. Will make again.

I was impressed. I will double the potato portion next time I make it. My husband loved this as well.

Wowee! This recipe is fantastic! I was so impressed with it. It was healthy, and very very filling. I even ate the peppers, which I normally shy away from. The potato/cauliflower mixture is wonderful. Tastes like normal mashed potatoes! Will most certainly make again! Thanks Kraft!!!

This was really good! By cooking the chicken and cutting up the peppers ahead of time, it didn't take long to put it together for Sunday dinner. We did double the potato recipe for my husband's sake, but I adjusted my serving accordingly, and it was plenty for the 2 of us for 2 meals. I don't think the fresh basil made enough difference to buy it next time.
