"Very good, yet simple to make. I'm making this again this evening."
"It was awesome I tweeked it a little with extra seasoning's My whole family loved it!"
"Cooked exactly the way the recipe called for it. chicken was tough and the flavor was bland. I think it would have tasted better if I would have used the italian seasoned tomatoes. My family was not crazy about this and neither was I."
"The recipe was great. I like being able to just follow the recipe and have an excellent end result."
"i make this dish quite often but i substitute the tomatoes with spaghetti sauce. Also instead of buying all the different cheeses separately I buy a shredded Italian Cheese blend. Its much quicker and quite tasty!"
"We loved it! I served it over angel hair pasta tossed with parmesan cheese."
"This was a hit all-around. My husband, my 4-year old and I all loved it!"
