An excellent primavera! Very easy to prepare. I love dishes with a lot of vegetables, and this one cetainly is that. I used green pepper, celery, snowpeas, carrots, and water chestnuts. I added 1 t red pepper flakes for a little bite, and used rotini.I also added 1/4 cup chicken broth to add volume to the sauce. The veggies were crunchy and the sauce was smooth. Lovely combination. Will make this a lot. Thank you for the recipe Terri!!

    This is a wonderful dish to serve in the spring and summer with fresh tomatoes and veggies. I make a very similar dish and thought I would try this one. I got rave reviews from all family members. The only thing I changed was to add just a splash of chardonnay. Thanks for another keeper!

    This was great. Really good for summer suppers. I used broccoli, carrots, and green peppers. We really enjoyed a new pasta dish. Thanks

    McCormick has now changed their "Spice Blends" to "1 Step". Use the "1 Step Chicken Stir-Fry" in place of the Monterey Spice Blend. Basically the same product with a different name. Enjoy!!

    Terrific! I didn't use the chicken because I was making this to accompany a Chicken Piccatta recipe (56704). What a great combo!

    I realize I've already reviewed this, but I had to add that I made this using frozen meatballs instead of chicken! My family liked it even better. I did the meatballs in the toaster oven and added them to the veggies right before I added the cheese. Wonderful!

    Well, I FINALLY got around to trying this - and it is wonderful!!! I too used rotini and I added some chilli flakes for a bit more spice (we really like spicy food) I used green/yello and red peppers, broccoli florets, sliced zuccini and carrots - yummy! To finish it off, I sprinkled the finished meal with some freshly grated Romano cheese - it was delicious! This recipe is easy and uses items you have on hand - well worth trying! Thanks for posting!

    This is a great recipe, it made enough for 2 dinners!!! Has anyone tried freezing the leftovers? My daughters enjoyed this dinner, I never heard this looks yucky - this recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanx Terri

    I cooked this for my small kids and they actually liked it. I used red bell pepper, broccoli, zucchini and carrots. It was really good and I got my kids to eat fresh vegetables. This will definitely be a keeper in my house.
