Very good dish! I breaded my chicken and I added mushrooms, diced tomatos, and capers. and topped it off with some lemon zest! the lemon zest makes the dish!!

Made this tonight for dinner. Added mushrooms like another reviewer suggested. It was fantastic! My picky husband said that was one of the best things I've made. Makes plenty of leftovers.

This was really easy to fix and very tasty! The only thing I edited was that I cut up the chicken into pieces and added mushrooms...in my house mushrooms make everything better!

My husband and I both loved this dish! This was the first time I have tried the cooking cream cheese. It was very easy to prepare and looked impressive also.

It was just what I was looking for as I had only a couple of squash and zucchini fresh from the garden that I needed to use. Just so happens that I had the chicken in the freezer and orzo that I had not tried yet. It turned out just wonderful and so simple to fix.

I was a little skeptical bing my first adventure with the Cooking Creme. It was fantastic with squash out of our garden, the whole family gobbled it up!
