Had 1/2 of a rotisserie chicken to prepare for dinner. Followed the recipe exactly -- although was concerned with the use of undiluted tomato paste -- worked out fine -- except would add salt and pepper to chicken portion -- might consider pizza sauce instead if I do it again. STILL have enough for another meal !! Thanks for posting, Barb.

What a simple and delicious dish! I made this for dinner tonight using soy milk and soy cheese in place of the dairy ingredients, and it was so yummy! It's even better than pizza! I'll definitely be making this one again.

I used 2 tsp of fat free parmesan grated spread on the bottom of the pie plate and 1 tsp on top of bisquick, about 8 oz of baked chicken, 1 cup of fat free shredded mozzarella, no salt added tomato paste, reduced fat bisquick, skim milk and egg beaters instead of eggs. Thank you for the yummy recipe.
