Baked Chicken With Pasta Sauce

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This ia a simple chicken dish with lots of flavor, use your own favorite pasta sauce for this, Prego Traditional Pasta sauce works well with this --- for each extra pound chicken increase the sauce by 1 to 1-1/2 cups, remember to drain the fat completely before adding the sauce :)

This gets 5 stars from me because it's easy, fairly quick and tastes great. My husband is a very picky eater and he loves when I make this!

Would've been 5 with some chunky vegetable homemade sauce. The chicken was excellent. Thanks for sharing.
