Very delicious and easy to make. I needed a very simple dish since I had very few ingredient on hand, I didn't use any cheese at all and I only had tomatoe suace instead of diced. Served it on a bed of gnocchi. The chicken was really good, such a great dish, hardly any mess to clean up. I will make it again soon.

This was last night's dinner and I found it to be very good! The only thing I added to your recipe was a touch of wine in the sauce. Excellent!
