Great recipe - everyone enjoyed this one too! Was fairly simple and delicious. 
I wasn't sure how it would taste since most of the 'mixture' was absorbed by the chicken in the skillet and so when I added it to the linguine and broccoli I was a little worried that it would be sticky and pasta-ish... but it wasn't! It was very tasty and very good! :-)
