I do believe this recipe has potential. It came together very quickly for me, but it lacked flavor. If I were to make it again, I would add a little garlic and, as others have done, make it with all chicken broth, no water. I served it with sauteed spinach.01/26/10

An excellent week night recipe that is fairly healthy and easy to make. I used all chicken broth instead of chicken broth and water, and I used pre-cooked and seasoned frozen chicken breasts from my grocery store to put in the boiling broth. Everything was well seasoned and yummy, and it is FAST! Another excellent recipe from Cooking Light.10/21/09
