I make a different recipe from this site about 3 times a week. This time I decided to try this one and I really wanted to love it for its simplicity and to try out the new Philly Cooking Creme. Although the creme was 'just ok', the recipe was far from decent.
RECIPE: 1 STAR
I made the recipe exactly as noted and it was very bland and not enough sauce. If I would have cooked the chicken for the total of 12 minutes you had suggested, my chicken cubes would have come out very hard, dry & chewy. I had to add lots of salt, pepper, parmesan cheese & herbs de provence to make it decent enough to eat. I also noticed it was a bit difficult to get the consistency and flavor right when adding the philly creme. I added a little more to the second half of my plate to make it more creamy and cooked it a bit but it just tasted like flavored cream cheese :(.
PHILADELPHIA COOKING CREME: 1 STAR
The philly creme needed some work, I do not think I will buy again. This creme you can simply make by using regular cream cheese and adding fresh garlic & onions without all the added chemical ingredients & added price. For a 10 oz container I paid $3(on sale). I would prefer to just buy the regular cream cheese in which I am a big fan of and just make the cream myself without the added cost. Considering the recipe called for the entire tub to be used, my dinner came out to cost me $8 which is too much for a weeknight dinner.
