Excellent dish, very flavorous and best of all sooo light! We used olive oil, extra Shallots, Prosecco Wine, Whole Wheat Flour as ingredients, when served we sprinkle a very little bit of Oregano so wake all the flavours... Delicioso! 5 Stars! Gustavo R. HOUSTON, Tx	1 week 9 hours ago
This was very delicious. I will definitely be making this often. I doubled the asparagus and substituted olive oil for the canola. I calculated the calories on caloriecount.about.com and they totaled over 450 per serving. Way more than the 306 shown here. Just FYI. Ellen, Oak Park, IL	8 weeks 1 day ago
This was a delicious meal. The sauce is excellent and you could easily make it without the cheese and it would be equally as good. I made twice the asparagus and there was plenty of sauce, Susan, Nashville, TN	8 weeks 1 day ago
We made this last night and quite enjoyed it. Instead of using shallots, we used onion. Did not have gruyere cheese, so used smoked gouda and ti gave the dish another depth of flavor. Added more lemon juice than specified, along with lemon zest, as we love anything lemony. We are always looking for new chicken recipes, which don't add tons of fat. This felt indulgent, while being still being pretty healthy. This recipe seems pretty versatile. We used asparagus, as it is on sale this week, but won't be using it when it is expensive. Muschrooms and artichoke hearts seem like they would work well, in place of asparagus. dottie	8 weeks 1 day ago
My family thought this was just average. A little bland for us. Probably won't add this to my permanent recipe file. :) Sharon , Little Rock, AR	8 weeks 1 day ago
This dish tasted wonderful. I did everything as specified, except I used garlic instead of shallots. It was nice enough for a dinner party or just a dinner at home. Anonymous, Sterling, VA	8 weeks 1 day ago
