This came together lightning fast. I used boneless breasts. I recommend adding the onions/cinnamon sauce to the tomato sauce...YUM! The cheese behaved strangely - it didn't melt! Nobody cared. No leftovers. Made for my NA*ME Forum's Spice of the Month Club Cinamon in Savry Dishes theme for My 3 Chefs 11/08. Wow, THAT was a mouthful!
