My friend made this meal for my husband and I after our first child was born. I trimmed it down, and now it's low in fat and carbohydrates. When shopping for chicken tenderloins, remember that some companies label the product chicken tenders. -Beth Ann Stein of Richmond, Indiana

1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium chicken bouillon granules

Do you think it would be possible to make this in a crock pot?

This chicken was delicious. My kids didn't like the sauce but hubby loved it. I also made the noodles they recomend. This was a big hit.

This chicken turned out very good. I used tomato sauce and less water since I didn't have tomato paste. I will definitely make this one again - quick, easy, tasty. And it's just 4 points on Weight Watchers.

This recipe is definitely one to make again (and again!). The chicken has so much flavor that you don't need the sauce, but they pair well together too. Easy to make, highly recommend!

This recipe is excellent, very flavorful. The only change I made is that I used boneless chicken breasts and cut them in half instead of using chicken tenderloins. I have made this several times for different guests and they have all really enjoyed it. It's quick and easy to make too which is so great.

I almost didn't make this- one review was good, the other bad, but I am glad that I tried it. It has a mild flavor that my preschooler really liked, but enough flavor to make it interesting for the rest of us. I think next time I make it, I might make extra sauce and serve it over plain pasta.

In place of the tomato paste (only because I didn't have any) used ketchup instead. Both my husband and I thought it was very good.
