what's for dinner?

oh mercy, it has been too long since i have posted a "monday meal."  not because i haven't been cooking, but because i haven't really tried many new recipes.  well, i found some new ones...can't remember where i found them (awe just started typing the recipe and remembered it was through a mrs. dash website).  this meal is really good, quite inexpensive, barely takes any time, and is surely a crowd pleaser with the fam!  i doubled it and ended up putting a bit more chicken in it so it would be filled with lots and be a "main dish."  i served it with steamed zucchini (which i also seasoned with the original flavored spice from Mrs. Dash.  yummy. enjoy!
