This was good, but not as creamy as I had hoped for, with the intention of putting on top of spaghetti squash….. But that could just be because my zucchini’s were probably a little bigger than intended. Flavor was good, next time i will just add more cream and adjust the flour accordingly. Some other spices would go well too.
Andrea Flores
I thought it was amazing! I added some red pepper to give it a bit of heat. Awesome stuff
Daniel Figueroa
I felt it needed something, so I put it over instant cheese grits. Wow! Delicious!
Tracy Marshall
My family loved it. I did add some cajon seasoning to spice it up.
Alyssa Wilson
I keep making this recipe! Wonderful, delicious, fast!
Kristen Williams
Super savory, super easy, super quick and super delicious!! I reduced my cream sauce for 10 minutes more on low and then turned the heat off and let it sit before serving. Next time I will chop my zucchini instead of slicing.
Todd Smith
It turned out fantastic. My husband wants me to make it again soon.

I am pleased with the results. I used one chicken breast and sliced it rather than cubed, and cooked it till just barely done and added some (Kinders Salt, pepper and garlic) mixture to the chicken while frying. I also was worried about it being bland so I sliced 4-5 cloves of garlic and cooked it till crisp, pulled that out and sautéed the vegies in the garlicy oil. No other changes but adding the extra garlic was the key. We put this over Angel hair pasta and it was perfect. and this one chicken breast fed 3 of us.

Easy to make and easily able to make variations using different veggies. Could even put over rice or mashed potatoes even.
Laura Leonard
I made this almost exactly to the original recipe. The changes I made were using chicken thighs & 1/2 & 1/2 rather than the heavy cream. It was delicious! I will certainly be making this again !!! YUM!
Troy Sanchez
This was biscuits and gravy with chicken and zucchini.
Aaron Robinson
So my husband says not only a “keeper” but probably his favorite meal now!!!!!!
Brian Burton
This was okay, too much zucchini for the amount of meat. I liked the two step cooking method, the chicken and vegetables were perfectly done. The sauce was tasty in the pan but definitely got lost served over rice. This might be best eaten alone in a bowl like a stew.
Brandi Martinez
I’m rating the original recipe as a 4 as written and a 5 once I was done with it. Very yumm. I added a big garlic clove while cooking the green onions and added some red pepper flakes with extra fresh parsley at the end. I also used 10% creamer and skim milk, in equal parts, as that was all I had on hand.
William Mercer
BLAND. A ton of ground black pepper, half a ton of paprika. Nothing. Will try real seasoning on the chicken and maybe some sour cream or dijon mustard next time. This recipe has promise, but it is definitely needing work.
Jessica Cruz
Delicious! I didn’t cut up the chicken – I dredged it in bread crumbs, browned, added all the other ingredients, then cooked until done. I used half and half instead of heavy cream. This was moist and delicious.
Karla Lopez
Made this for dinner and was delish! I did cook my zucchini on the side by sautéing they in some olive oil garlic and pepper just to have something lighter as a veggie but this sauce is absolutely amazing!
Amanda Williams
Added McCormicks Montreal Chicken seasoning during the chicken cooking process. Used light cream. Came out amazing!
Ian Dixon
It wasn’t a bad dish. My family did not complain about it and the Youngest devoured his plate but the original recipe to me tasted bland so I gave our 12 yr old a taste test and then gave him another taste test where I added cumin and curry powder. He much preferred the latter of the two.
Jeremy Stephenson
Substituted marinara sauce for whipping cream. Delicious.
Kelly Gibson
This recipe was really easy and suuuuper delicious! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts because that’s what I had. I put this over a bed of cheddar broccoli rice. YUM !
