    This was pretty good and easy to make. I added artichokes and black olives, since my family enjoys those. I did use fat free provolone, but think I would prefer mozzerella. - 5/25/09

    I've made quite a few of the SB recipes, and, like the others, this IS a keeper! YUMMY! I made extra of the ricotta topping and added some of the crushed tomatoes to it, along with some red pepper flakes, and mixed it with some WW Penne. I also baked some zucchini. Great meal! - 5/26/09

    Loved this! Added a slice of proscuitto between the ricotta and the mozzerella which upped the salt but still very tasty. - 2/9/09

    This recipes came out awesome. My fiance and father-in-law loved it.

    I did slightly alter it, though. It says to cook the chicken for 12 minutes per side. I didn't want to burn it, so I went with much less time on cooking the chicken in the skillet.

    This was very good. I forgot the crushed tomatoes so I used a small can of tomato sauce and chopped up some roma tomatoes. I also used reduced fat shredded mozzarella. - 10/5/11
