This was a very tasty and very easy recipe to prepare. I served this to guests and it got great compliments. I used 2 boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves, cut them bite size and dusted them with a small amount of flour, so I didn't need to thicken the sauce. 5 minutes before the sauce was done, I added 16 medium, cleaned and deveined shrimp. Served it over fettuccini. Thanks for the recipe! Will make this one again!

This is a great recipe, it is easy quick and delicious. I substited Italian tomatoes for the diced tomato and omited the Italian Seasoning. It was perfect!!! I will definately make this again.

I've been looking for a creamy tomato sauce recipe for some time and this fills the bill nicely. Great flavor and creaminess. The next time I plan to use Cajun Seasoning instead of Italian for a slightly different twist. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting!
