It was just ok for us, we were expecting more of a barbecue flavor and we felt it tasted more like a good chicken parm recipe. The sauce was more of an Italian flavor than anything else. While it was good, I'd probably use it for more of an Italian dish/sauce going forward.

These are fantastic, and so easy. I put the chicken in the slow cooker frozen and did it for 7 hours and it was perfect.
