This came out great, but I made a few changes. I sliced chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and sauteed them in olive oil. When they were done, I added the onions and cooked until tender. Then I added the rest of the sauce ingredients. I served over angel hair.

We didn't find this one great but only okay. It seemed like it was missing a layer of flavor. When I reheated the leftovers I added some wine like one of the other reviewers to see if it would help. It improved the flavor for us it was still missing something. I may make it again with the wine and add something else if I can figure out what it is missing for us.

I cant even express the greatness of this recipe! I tweaked it a bit, added the wine and doubled the sauce. I used home grown diced tomatoes ( had a bunch i had to use like right away) and it was awesome. i actually dreamed about it last night after i ate it. This is now going to be a weekly recipe in this house!! cant wait to try it with the canned tomatoes.

I used only 3 chicken breasts with the full amount of sauce and in my opinion, the sauce still needed to be doubled. Served this over whole wheat pasta with a side of fresh steamed green beans. Great meal and so easy.

I Loved it!! I took the advise of the other reviews and made extra sauce, I then cut it into bite sized pieces and put it over fettuccine noodles!! Made it for my mother-in-laws b-day! It was a hit!
