I thought this dish was very good. I loved the flavor and the coating of the chicken. The sauce was very good, I loved the zucchini it had a perfect texture. I also liked the added flavor of the olives on top.

    So pretty! the reds and greens and it is very healthy as well....if you change you pasta to whole wheat, it could be part of my diet meal. The taste was just right for me, not too salt nor bland. the chicken look so pretty and the squash were cut perfect....the cheese added a wonderful aroma to it. Of course I love tomatoes so it was bomb. the olives were different, again, i never really had black olives on warm pasta so it was a nice change. Man, i looked at your pot it is beautiful.
