I needed a menu light on calories but heavy on flavor for my husband's associates. They weren't watching calories, but I was and wanted to eat, too. This recipe was a big success and no one guessed I'd "skinnied" it down! -Anita Webb, Hartsville, Tennessee

Not a fan of this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

This was a great recipe! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was tender and juicy.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it over pasta, but it's also great with rice or potatoes.

This was a good recipe, but I think it could have used a bit more flavor. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and it really helped.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and the sauce is always a hit.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Otherwise, it was a great recipe and I would definitely make it again.
