Not quite a 4*, really. But quick and easy, has flavor. I browned the chicken first. I thickened the sauce with beurre manie or it would have been too liquidy. I was leery of the Italian dressing but you can't taste it in the final product. Slices of mozzarella would have worked better than shredded. I might make it again, in a pinch. Thanks, Belinda, for posting. I picked this up on a blog, don't remember which one!

I thought this was absolutely fabulous but dh didn't like it. I was concerned when I was putting it together that there wasn't enough liquid to simmer the chicken in, but by the time the chicken was done there was plenty! I completely forgot to add the cheese and the bacon at the end, but I didn't miss it at all. I served over hot buttered noodles and it was perfect.

Very nice and very easy! I did brown the chicken breasts first then completed the recipe. Next time, as a personal preference, I might add a bit more salad dressing for the tang! Leftovers reheated nicely, too.
