This is verry good. I did not have cream cheese so I used low fat ricotta.

This was really quick and easy to make. My husband and kids loved it. I used frozen spinach and zesty Italian dressing. It was a bit dry so I added a bit more stock to it. It was very tasty, I will be making this again.

It was just good. It seemed a little too dry.

This dish is full of flavor! I used Turkey Filets and used minced garlic to season them when I sauted them with the dressing. I also used the Italian seasoned diced tomatoes like a previous poster suggested. So Delicious!

This was amazing! Quick & tasty Tweaks: Used chicken tenderloins cubed. I seasoned them. Added mushrooms. Also used half of called for cream cheese so I didn't have that twange. I used canned, diced, italian herbed tomatoes.
