Very yummy. Will definately make again. I cooked it only 40 min, and the chicken was done!

What a tasty but simple recipe! I also added garlic for a little bit more flavour and use drumsticks. A hit with the children and us grown ups alike!!!

This was delicious, I used 3 skinless thighs, one 400 gram tin crushed tomatoes and added a little garlic. Makes a lovely thick sauce. I didnt use any olive oil. Great recipe.

This was very delicious and easy, although I did make a couple of modification to lessen the calories and fat. I used skinless boneless breast tenderloins, I did not dredge them in flower or fry them, I just browned them in the skillet with some Canola spray. They were still sooooo yummy! Great meal!!

Very flavorful dish. Other than adding a bit of garlic, I follwed the instructions as posted. The dish baked for an hour and was cooked to perfection. This was delicious with spinach bread served on the side. Thanks for sharing Marie :)
