This is such a quick and simple recipe, I loved it. My boyfriend was very happy with it as well. I could not find pimientos in my local grocery store but I used diced up jarred roasted red peppers (which is basically the same thing, I think) instead and I omitted the mushrooms. I served it with white rice. It was very tasty and I loved how easy it was to make. Thanks for posting!

This was a wonderfully simple, tasty, kid pleasing dish. I had to omit the pimentos and mushrooms for my family's taste but it was still great! Also I used a pound of chicken tenders that I cut up and used the jar of homestyle chicken gravy. It was a hit at my house...my 4 yr old had 3 helpings! Thank you!
