awesome taste ... I did add about a 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan to the chicken mixture but probably didn't need to ...

We had this for dinner tonight, it was great. I did add tsp. each of savory and garlic powder though. Very budget friendly. I recommend serving with fresh steamed asparagus!

Very good. And forget the other reviewer who acts like simpler recipes are for morons. Simple and easy to prepare recipes are not just for "people who don't know how to cook" - they are also for busy people, people with large families like mine, or for potlucks when you don't have lots of time to prepare stuff. I am a good cook, and have been married 36 years, yet I ALWAYS LIKE and save recipes that are easy to prepare. So THERE.
