The monsters really enjoyed this. They've asked for it to be added to the rotation, and since it is so easy to put together, I'm fine with that!

I made this as stated, with our favorite spaghetti sauce, and I loved it! I also had to cook it a little longer for the chicken to be done, but I had frozen mine for OAMC and don't know if it was quite all the way thawed when I put it in the oven. As simple as this was to put together, I was really impressed with it. Thanks for a great recipe I will be using again!
