     I added mushrooms, used tomatoes and herbs from the garden. Great! - 9/3/09

     I used diced tomatoes; I added a small can of mushrooms; and I added about 1/4 cup of Marsala cooking wine. It was delicious paired with Ronzoni Smart Taste angel hair pasta and fresh English peas. We had no leftovers at all. =D - 11/10/09

  • RAEBRALOP
     Very good/ quick &easy to make. I used 1 can of stewed tomatoes and 1 can of diced... would have used 2 stewed if I'd have had them on hand. Also put in about 3/4 cup white wine... but I think I may have liked it better without. I felt like something was missing but couldn't put my finger on it. - 11/19/08

     This dish is just magic for a quick meal, Ibrowned off the chicken in the oil and half a glass of dry white wine,removed the chicken and cooked the onions etcto reduce the liquid, then added the rest along with the chicken to follow the recipe. A little thought can produce many scrumo meals . - 9/25/08

     I only followed the recipe loosely (more chicken, 2 cans diced tomatoes, no oil. But the overall same idea and the flavor was awesome. Served over whole wheat pasta. Will definitely make again! Super easy! - 9/24/08

     OMitted wine. Added in mushrooms. Used canned low salt stewed tomatoes, which I cut up to bite size myself. Really good! - 4/28/17
  • GENIANA
     Tasty and easy to make. I used chunky tomato paste instead of the diced tomatoes. It turned out thicker so I didn't need the corn starch. The other good thing about this recipe is that although it tastes great if made as described above, it's also simple enough to experiment with. :) - 9/26/11
