I made this recipe for last night's supper---very tasty! I READ the recipe, as I always do beforehand, to determine if I should change anything in regard to my family's food preferences. As a result, I added more garlic powder, added onion powder and a chopped medium onion, a teaspoon of chicken bouillon granules and about 1/4 cup of white wine to the mixture. All other ingredients I kept as stated. I did halve the recipe, though, as there were just three of us at supper, and I had no room in the freezer to store another casserole.

When I prepare this again---and I assuredly will--I'm going to add sliced, sauteed mushrooms.

My children just LOVED this recipe! I sautéed a clove of garlic in the butter for 30 seconds before adding the red pepper and chicken. I also added 1/2 cup onion in with the pepper and chicken. I seasoned the chicken with seasoning salt and omitted the salt in the recipe. I omitted the garlic powder since I used fresh garlic. I also omitted the Parmesan cheese. It was very delicious!

I have made this recipe several times and the grandkids love it. I like the fact that it makes a large amount and I can freeze some for later. I use only 1/4 t. of salt as it seemed a little too salty with 1/2 t. This recipe is a keeper!

I just made this recipe for my four boys, and they LOVE IT!!!! I did read the reviews and take the complaint of the blandness into advisement....So, I made a few changes...I seasoned my chicken with a salt free seasoning.. we use Mrs. Dash...I also add 1 med chopped onion and 1 minced clove of garlic to my pan when I was sauting the chicken... I believe this added more flavor to the dish... Other than that I stuck to the recipe... This one is going into the make again file!!!

Was OK, but it deffinitly needs more seasoning. I used brocolli instead of peas & also cooked some onion with the chicken.
