I guess I can review the recipe that you stole from me!!! I really enjoy this dish and it can also be made in a crockpot and using raw chicken!! If you use raw chicken in the crockpot, you have to have the crockpot set on high to insure that the chicken reaches a high enough temperature quickly. It is a real time saver! I've also thrown all the ingredients into a freezer bag to pull out and put in the crockpot at a later date, so I guess this could actually be added to OAMC list!

Easy to make, though a tad bland. I used mozzarella and cheddar. Next time will try a zingier sauce.

We thought this dish was ok. My husband only had one serving. It is quick and easy and has few ingredients, which is nice.
