perfect set of summer ingredients to add a lot of flavor chicken breasts that definitely need the flavor punch, thank you!
I usually find your recipes good, but this was bleh. This dish had no flavor whatsoever, no spices, no seasoning. Just melted bland cheese over a bland chicken breast. Even tasty fresh tomatoes could not save it.
