I was looking for something different to do with chicken, and this was great. I sauted the chicken pieces in olive oil with onion and garlic (home grown). I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes by mistake, which took a little longer to cook down, which made it a bit chunky. I’ll try it with crushed tomatoes next time! I also added Italian seasoning and fresh basil. Served over tri colored rigatoni like the picture because I had it! Definitely a keeper!
This was so good! I had all the ingredients in my pantry. I used Cavatappi pasta rather than Rotini pasta.
I added some green beans and doubled the recipe. Delicious! Hard to please all in a family of 4, but this does it!
I also added a 6oz. can of tomatoe paste and a splash of water to thicken it up a little. Used a whole tub of sliced mushrooms may use a little less mushrooms next time and more chicken
This has become a family favorite! I add zucchini and fresh basil, so good!
We had this tonight for dinner. I agree with the other posters that it was watery and lacking in the spice department. I think that by thickening the sauce and adding some fresh veggies and herbs, it will be really good.
This was decent although it was a bit bland as others mentioned. I did add a green pepper and some crushed red pepper for some kick. Nice simple supper. I would certainly make it again with a bit more seasoning.
I thought this was very good but then I heard my husband refer to it as spaghetti kind of blew it for me.
NICE RECIPE!but a bit bland. I added 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and seasoned the chicken with a little salt and pepper before frying.
This was ok but nothing special. I don’t know if I would make it again.
Quick and easy. The sauce was light and is a good base for adding other ingredients, as well as being good on its own. I almost always have the ingredients for this sitting around, so it’s a great go-to method when I don’t know what else to make.
I didn’t have the mushrooms, but made this and it was very good.
My husband and I thought this recipe was extremely boring, lacking flavor and interest. I won’t be making it again.
I was craving chicken with pasta for weeks, so I was thrilled when I found this recipe. We didn’t even have to go buy any groceries first! It was much tastier than the plain old pasta and sauce we usually have. We only used half the onion, and I think next time I will use more seasoning… but it was definitely a hit. I’ll make it again for sure.
I thought it was good, not great. My husband loved it and the kiddos thought it was just OK. Will probably make again with some modifications. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This recipe is a keeper!! It was really easy and tasted great! My whole family loved it! even my picky husband!!
I was surprised at good this was considering how easy it was to make. I altered the ingredients slightly (I like my sauces on the spicy side). I thought that the recipe called for too much onion but I used a whole one anyway. Glad that I did as I think thats what made the recipe. Between the onion and not using any paste, this is the perfect summer sauce. I’m looking fwd to making this again, but with hot sausage instead of chicken.
Unexciting, though not bad. Basically, you’re making your own spaghetti sauce (with chicken). It’s nice that the tomatoes are in somewhat discrete chunks, as are the mushrooms and onion, but really there is no special flavor to this dish other than traditional unexciting spaghetti sauce.
I made this for my family as an alternative to the usual beef bolognaise and was happily surprised!! Was really tasty and everyone cleared their plates. Will definately be making it again!
Tried this last nite for a change regular pasta & sauce, and was surprised at how good it really is! I did leave out the mushrooms, and added a can of tomato sauce to make it go further. I also added an extra clove of garlic (YUM) and everyone really liked it!
this is so good! yummier and so much better than using beef. thanks!
