"This is a recipe I simply threw together one night, and it happened to turn out great. The chicken turned out juicy and tender with great flavor from the italian seasoning and tangy tomato sauce."

Fast and easy with 'on hand' ingredients makes for a great meal when time is limited. I served with jacket baked potatoes (done in microwave) but would also go well on rice. Made for Auz/NZ swap July 2009
