HUGE HIT!! I have a home full of picky eaters but this dinner was a huge success! I only added salt while the food was cooking. No other variations needed.

Excellent! My husband and I were not only impressed by how easy this was to make, but also by how good it was for being a "healthy" dish. We plan on adding mushrooms next time.

It was pretty good. I wouldn't say great. My husband went for seconds but I'd only make it again if I was crunched for time. I like how little time it took.
