A very tasty dish. The chicken was moist and tender. I used the whole can of diced tomatoes, but my pan was so full to the brim that I didn't use the whole 26 ounces of pasta sauce. Nonetheless, it was positively delicious. Made for the 1-2-3 Hit Wonders tag game. -
We really enjoyed the flavor of this dish. I really enjoyed how easy it was to make. I did use regular tomato basil pasta sauce not fat free but otherwise made as posted. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
