Lovely weeknight dinner! I used gluten free penne because thats what I had gluten free, but otherwise made as written. Like Karen Elizabeth said, can't go wrong with this. Thanks for another yummy recipe, dear Pam! Made for the Cookathon in memory of pammyowl, November 2013

Can't go wrong with this, simple and delicious! I used dried dill very successfully, and I used penne, mostly becuase I like it :) and thought it would go well with this dish, which it did. Lovely recipe, very much enjoyed, made in loving memory of our dear Pammyowl, never forgotten.

This goes into my A1 Rotation cookbook: it was tasty and easy, different from my usual choices. Thanks for revising the recipe to call for 1" chunks of chicken (my photo shows 2" cubes). My local store did not have fresh tarragon or dill, so I used 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon, and the dish was delicious. For us, I doubled the amount of broccoli, and the 2 of us devoured the rest of the ingredients with no difficulty, and had dessert. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.

Made this with dill because I didn't have taggagon. I also doubled the amount of broth to make a little more sauce; iti didn't make a sauce, but it made it a little more coated. I boiled the broccoli in a separate pot since I am the only one who eats it. Topped with sliced green onions and it was a light and healthy meal. Made for Football Pool 2012-13 Win.

I have a Farmers Market stand where I sell breads and sweets. I am really enjouing my stand, as I get to make all kinds of breads, although the sweets are the big attraction! I am married to theworlds  most wonderful man, have an aan amazingly  brilliant child (of course I would say that!).  In short, I am a verry happy, cheerful woman. Baking bread is my passion, but I love to cook anything.  I have two great dogs, Jack and Lucy, a black lab and a boxer/pitbull mix, respectively. My rating system; 5 stars= great, had fun making it and will make again 4= made some changes as the recipe needed tweaking 3= probably will not make again I will not post a 2 or 1 star rating, I'd rather post the review with no stars and share some possible fixes:)
