I made this salad for a potluck today, and there are no leftovers. I put the almonds alongside the dish to let people add them if they wanted, I didn't use croutons, & used Mrs. Dash instead of pepper but other than that I followed the recipe. It turned out very flavorful. I got everything ready the night before, put the ingredients in seperate baggies, then mixed it all right before the party. People said they liked it a lot, and I enjoyed it too. It was quick and easy to make. I'll make it again the next time we have a potluck.

Tracy, this is a great recipe! I was looking for something that was quick & easy, and called for things I had on hand. I only had canned Mexican tomatoes with lime & cilantro, so I skipped the lemon juice, and added fresh chopped cilantro at the end of cooking. I followed other's suggestions, and cut the chicken in smaller pieces and added fresh garlic and more mushrooms & onions. I also cooked the chicken with the onions, then added the mushrooms, finally adding the tomatoes. I served mashed potatoes along side this dish, and there was nothing left over. It was a huge hit with the whole family! Next time I'll either try it with regular or Italian flavored canned tomatoes.

I was a little leary about trying this recipe since it called for so much flour. I have a 5 qt. mixer, and just barely enough room in the bowl to slowly add the flour. Instead of making a whole bunch of tiny cookies, I rolled the dough into big balls, like the size of a large plum, and cooked them for 18 minutes. They turned out wonderful, and everyone liked them. Maybe they would be even better with mini chocolate chips added. They were soft, rather than crisp, and I liked that. I just thought maybe they could use a little bit more chocolate flavor. They looked picture perfect coming out of the oven, but it would also be fun to dip the tops in raw sugar before baking for added texture.
