    We added zucchini to the vegetables we used, used crushed tomatoes instead of sauce, and used a pre-packaged cornbread mix. It came out perfect!! - 8/3/10

    We used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce, and cooked shredded chicken instead of raw cubed chicken it turned out perfect. I kept the cooking time the same 25 min. - 11/17/11

    Wow this was fantastic! This is one of the first meals where I had NO leftovers, because we ate it all! The only thing I did differently is while cooking the chicken I seasoned it with some Mrs. Dash Table Blend. Great Recipe! - 2/3/11

    I added zucchini and pre-packaged cornbread mix as well. Also added chipolte hot sauce to tomato sauce when simmering. Family really enjoyed this one! - 8/23/10
