Loved this recipe. I did double the tomatoes and dripped olive oil over the zucchini mixture prior to the chicken - this recipe was nowhere near dry, after reading others comments I was a little worried about dryness - but it was a hit at my house

Modifications: I added minced garlic (because I always cook with it), onions, and red pepper flakes to the veggie mixture. I also doubled the tomatoes. Couldn't find the Italian flavored Shake'N Bake so I used chicken flavor and added extra parmesean and Italian seasoning. Was very happy with the pasta & veggies, but the chicken was just okay. Maybe next time I'll try boneless breasts. Got great reviews from the family so I will make again.

Too watery and very bland. The chicken was just okay. Not a keeper for us.

JUST, NOT GOOD. IT NEEDS GARLIC, RED PEPPER,ITALIAN SEASONING, AND MORE LIQUID. THE ZUCCHINI WAS CRUNCHY AND DRY. MAYBE A CAN OF TOMATO SAUCE WOULD HELP.THE CHICKEN ON THE OTHER HAND CAME OUT PERFECT.

AWESOME! I made this and my whole family loved it. I used whole chicken breast and mixed black olives with calamata olives. Added a little extra zest. Liked the other reviewers idea of adding an extra can of tomatoes. Will definitely make this many more times.

I really liked this dish! My man is a steak and potatoes guy and he really liked it as well. I did cook it longer than the recipe called for but it was moist and yummy! :)
