My whole family loved this. I didn't have cornmeal so I substituted corn flakes but everything else was as written.

I'm sorry, but this wasn't very spicy. I didn't try the sauce but the chicken tenders leave a lot to be desired.

Inez, this was delicious.Two thumbs up from my husband and daughter! I did not get to make the sauce, but will next time. By the way, I know you dont use 13 cups of ricotta cheese, I'm sure it's just 1/3 cup! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
