This was pretty good and an easy and different way to use some leftover chicken. I found the tomato paste made it a bit dry, so I added a half dozen cherry tomatoes cut in half and some mushroms for moisture. I think I would add tomato sauce or pizza sauce instead of the paste next time. Makes a lot and the leftovers will be my lunch for the week.

This was really yummy and easy. Kind of like pizza pie. Next time I might use ground beef or turkey.

We loved this dish for supper. I already had pre-cook chicken in the freezer which made this easy dish even easier. Great combination of flavors that will please everyone. I served this along with a garden salad and the meal was complete. This will also be a great meal to prepare while we are traveling. Thanks so much for sharing, Chef V.

I used the reduced-fat Bisquick and left out the Italian seasoning and final T of parmesan. Yummy!
