This is superb - the aroma of the sauce is SO good while it's simmering! I followed the directions exactly except for substituting diced tomatoes for crushed and I ground the chicken in my food processor with a few pulses. Very yummy and something I will be repeating again soon!

Yum... I think it was overbaked at 45 minutes though - may have been my noodles or something. Anyway, it was good - even my very picky 3 year old said it was yummy. My only complaint - my house smelled SOOOO good for 3 hours before I could eat!!!

I decided to try this bc my DS doen't like ground beef. He didn't like this either (my picky eater) but my DD and DH did and so did I. Will make this again.

This was really enjoyable. Used left over BBQ chicken, so left it out until last fifteen minutes of simmering time.The sauce is worth the effort, reheated well the following day.
