Delicious, easy and fast best describes this recipe. Perfect for a week night, plus the pounding is good stress relief from a day at work. I used a spicy roasted garlic spagetti sauce as the tomato sauce and it worked really well with the basil / chicken / mozzarella flavours. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Redsie.
