Garlic and basil flavor the tomato sauce that coats tender Chicken Marinara. "A friend gave me this skillet recipe several years ago," Kathleen informs. "It's easy to make using pre-sliced mushrooms, commercial pasta sauce and quick-cooking pasta."

Yum...I left out the mushrooms-family dislikes them. Used burgundy and a bit of chicken broth; I suggest putting this on low simmer as the chicken came out a bit tough. Served with salad and it's one recipe I will make again.
