Made this for dinner tonight, very good!!! Had some fresh mushroom to use up and some fresh plumb tomatoes which I skinned and chopped. They worked great. Cut it back for 2 and served it over tomato flavoured brown rice. Thanks for sharing Chuckster, will do this one again!!

DH and I made this last night and it was really good. We enjoyed it and so did our 3 kids. We didn't have any plum tomatoes (canned or otherwise) so we used drained diced tomatoes. It worked out fine. I doubled the recipe and it doubled very well. Thanks!

I had to cook for a crowd and the guests had to serve themselves. I cut up the chicken into pieces and added it to the sauce. I added al dente penne to same skillet as sauce mixture and cooked for 5 more minutes. I then topped with shredded mozzarella cheese and covered until ready to serve. Guests helped themselves right out of the skillet. Easy and delicious!

Really, really good!! The only changes I made was to add some green pepper chopped fine, and I only had 3 chicken breasts... which I browned whole, then cut up, and browned a little more. Definitely making this again! Yum!

Great recipe, except that I made a few changes, I cut the chicken breast in pieces added a sliced green bell pepper and instead of pasta I served it over white rice only because I ate pasta twice in one week. Very easy to make.
