I marinated the chicken overnite with citrus herb seasoning, added some garlic and herb and salt to the mashed potatoes. My husband was very skeptical about this and then ate 2 helpings. So it was very good :)

The chicken and sauce were good, but the star of this dish is the red potato/cauliflower mash! I added a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Delicious.

I loved it.. instead of mashed potatoes I made roasted garlic potatoes on the side and put the chicken on a bed of rice.. not the healthiest of options but it tasted epic!

this recipe was great. I didn 't have the tub of philadelphia, so I use 4oz of cream cheese. It worked great. Add alittle of fresh chives and it worked. Will make alot this recipe alot more times.

Very good, and very good for you! I didn't have a can of Italian Diced tomatoes. So, I added 1 tbs. of Italian seasoning and 2 minced garlic cloves to the tomato when I added it. I also had to add a little S&P to the potato/cauliflower mash. My husband loved it, and he's so hard to get any veggies into!! Definitely will make again.
