Extremely bland recipe. If making this recipe, you need to be ready to make adjustments and additions as you see fit. The lack of seasonings combined with a minimal amount of light flavor vegetables adds to the blandness. Personally I did not enjoy this whatsoever

I would omit the mushrooms, then take away from the zucchini. I would add chicken broth instead of water.

This dish is excellent. I double the recipe and freeze it for weeknight dinners. It just needs some salt.

Really bland and not at all what I expected. My husband found this recipe and was begging me to make it. He thought it was "ok" but thought it would be a lot better as well. My daughter and I both ended up eating something else.
