     Really good. I made this for dinner last night. Instead of pan frying the chicken I baked it in the over at 375 for 20 minutes, turning in between. I also used more sauce than was called for. It was delicious and I would make again - 11/1/10

     This was awesome. Hubby and kids loved it as well. Omitted the olive oil and baked the chicken at 350 for 15 minutes on a "Pam'd" cookie sheet. I haven't really fried anything since starting Spark. I wonder how many calories I saved by not using oil... - 6/2/10

     I cut the sodium a little by just using garlic pwdr. Parm cheese is pretty salty itself. I also broiled the chic instead of frying it. Very good! LARGE serving. Was very full w/ just 1 serving and some cantaloupe. - 4/22/10

     Exellent! In my version I used egg whites/fat free milk for the wash, added Italian seasoning to the crumbs, and eliminated the oil by putting the chicken chunks on a cookie sheet, spraying lightly with Pam and baking. I also added more sauce after reading reviews. Great recipe!! - 10/26/09

     YUMMY! Thank you so much for this incredible recipe! I served it as the main course for my dinner party last night and everyone now wants the recipe. It was delicious and filling. Made two because I was having 12 people and we only ate one. I will be making it ahead of time and freezing it. - 10/4/10

     This was so good. I made it today and my family loved it. I did add a half can of diced tomatos just to give it a little extra sauce. I will make again. - 1/3/10

     This was very good! Took it to my supper club and everyone loved it! I did read other's comments before making and used a 32 oz jar of sauce instead of the recipes 10 oz suggestion and it came out perfect. Thanks for sharing! - 4/19/09

     I made this for my husband last night, I have never seen him compliment me so much about the food I made, lol. It's delicious, I used bowtie noodles because I couldn't find ziti noodles, but it was awsome. - 9/18/08
