It was very tasty, I did the typical single guy thing of not thinking ahead and planning a base. This would have been perfect with a rice base and I will be trying it again soon!

Really good, quick and easy recipe. Added spinach. It’s a little salty for my taste. I think next time I will use unsalted chicken broth.

Very yummy and easy and everyone loved it I used Greek yogurt instead to lighten it up a bit. The yogurt separated a little but not bad. If I was a really good coo... I may know how to fix this. hahah

Absolutely delicious and strong flavors. I cut the chicken into fajita-like strips before cooking, which worked out well. Will definitely make this again.
Carlos Chavez 9 Dec 2018
★★★★★
i cooked it twice, first time the recommended broth made it tok salty. second time i used half and it tasted my better. Also if you think your chicken breast is too thick then beat it down and thin it out ans cook chicke. just a little bit longer than 8min. Include these alterations and thisnis perfect
