The meal wasn't bad by any means, I made a little more than the recipe called for so that I could have left-overs though. The left-overs at least re-heated well in the microwave and were easy to take to work. Not sure why it's called "pizza" chicken though...it's mostly just chicken marinara.

It was good, but it might taste better or different over regular spaghetti instead of twisted noodles, they carry too much water.

Is great! Make it often and have shared the recipe with my parents...they love it too. Certainly not pizza like...we call it chicken spaghetti which doesnt quite get it either but something closer than the name given. Wonderful and quite filling!

THIS WAS QUICK AND EASY --- TRULY NOT "NAMED" RIGHT --- THIS IS FAR FROM PIZZA ---- WE CALL IT CHICKEN CACTATORIE - AND SERVE AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH ---- COOK RIGATONI SEPARATE - PLACE ON NODDLES - SERVE WITH WARM ROLLS - QUICK AND YUMMY!!

It was just o.k. Not really pizza-like. Pepperoni would have made it more so. Basically pasta with sauce and the slow cooker is not really necessary as you could make this on the stove top for under 30 min.
