Made this for dinner last night. It was very good. Made one change and will make another when I make this again. Added a little dried oregano and sweet basil this time. Gave the chicken a nice flavor. Next time I'll add more chicken as there wasn't quite enough. All and all a great, easy weeknight meal. Family really enjoyed it and I'll definitely make it again. Thanks!

Wonderful, easy meal to prepare. I used 2 lbs of chicken. The sauce was kind of bland, so I added oregano, basil and additional garlic, and that did the trick. Thanx for a great family-pleasing recipe. We'll eat this again.
