Inexpensive, doesn't take all day, & tastes wonderful! Mu husband who doesn't like chicken much even said it was good! My 11 year old son LOVES it and asked that I add it to the fav list of recipes! Totally recommended! YUMMY!

This is excellent! I have made this twice since I received the recipe. I added sun dried tomatoes(for color)and fresh mushrooms.

The only thing I did different was chopped my chicken then fixed the meal and I got rave reviews that I can make it again anytime. My first time using the cooking sauce and was pleased with the taste. I think it will even be better tomorrow.

This was scrumptious!!!!! My husband was hesitant when I told him I was trying a new recipe but relaxed when I listed off the ingredients. He was very impressed, as was I! I also sliced the chicken breasts before marinating, instead of using the whole breast, and I used 1.5 tsp dried basil because I only had 3 chicken breasts. I served this over mini bowtie pasta as I didn't have penne pasta in my cupboard. I will be making this again!!! Thanks for a delicious quick meal. I'm having the leftovers for lunch!
