I thought this was pretty good-- it was certainly easy to make-- but what makes this a fabulous recipe in MY book, is that my finicky son loved it, and even happily ate leftovers the next day!

So easy and so flavorful. I thought the sauce was going to be too runny but after I thoroughly stirred it, it was just right. I used boneless chicken breasts since that is all I had and they were moist and super tender. My husband volunteered that he liked the dish! That's enough for me to make this on a regular basis.

I have made this recipe many times. I use frozen chicken breast so that they come out tender, but firm. I use Vidalia onion dressing. It gives the sauce a great flavor. Pizza sauce, instead of spaghetti sauce, is really good too in a pinch. This is a keeper recipe for a busy day. It couldn't be simpler or more delicious.

This dish is a great meal if you're having one of those busy days you just feel like adding something to the crockpot and not having to worry about it until dinner time. I would suggest adding cornstarch to the remaining sauce as it is key to making this dish successful.

This was very good and so easy. Everyone just loved it. For the left overs I combined the pasta, sauce and cut up the chicken . . . yummy!!

I was nervous about making this for company without having done a test run first, but it was a huge success! Our dinner guest took leftovers home with him and my family asked that it become part of my regular repertoire.
