I have not made this yet but am looking for new recipes to make my husband. I can add flavoring (that isn't a problem) but need to know if the non-dairy creamer is liquid or powder? Moderator: The nondairy creamer is liquid in all the recipes unless otherwise stated.

I made this dish for my family and they loved it. They told me to make it a regular. My daughter is on the renal diet. I try to cook the same food for the whole family and this fit just perfect.

This is a little bland, as several members mentioned. It is a good base that could be added to!

I added a little extra pepper and cooked the chicken with extra Mrs. Dash. Very good and comforting.

We thought it was on the bland side. Next time I'll use more spices. The sauce is great and easily modifiable to other hot dishes.

Very good, just a tiny bit bland. Will add Mrs Dash or garlic or oregano next time.
