So very easy! I added some frozen peas and some pepper for an added kick. Delicious!

This is a family favorite, we have been making it for a few years now. I usually serve with peas. So convenient, using items I always have on hand. I have shared this recipe with several friends and we all LOVE it!!

This is a family favorite at my house! I double the recipe whenever I make it. I cut the chicken breasts into smaller strips or buy the chicken breast tenders.....it's easier to serve and goes farther.

I leave out the mushrooms. I also double the recipe so we have leftovers for the next day. My 9 year olds favorite dish! He askes for it weekly :)

My family really enjoyed this dish. I can't have dairy, so I took out my piece of chicken after it cooked for 3 hours and then added some Tofutti dairy-free cream cheese. I used fresh mushrooms that were grilled the night before and seved it over rice with sugar snap peas. Delicious!

This is a very easy recipe that's good for company. I take the chicken out when I add the cream cheese mixture, cut it up and let it warm through. I seem to recall a version of this recipe that was published years ago that included sliced black olives. I put those in sometimes, too.
