    Very good. I didn't have fresh veggies.Instead I used a bag of frozen greenbeans with carrots. Also, I added some whole wheat pasta and used extra sauce from the chicken and veggies to put over the top. Minus a star because my bf thought it was just ok.. Turns out he doesn't like Italian dressing! - 6/29/10

    I haven't tried it in the oven, however I have used chicken tenders instead of whole breasts and since they are smaller and cook faster, this would insure that the chicken is done. You could also cook the original recipe with the chicken breasts a little longer, I have and it is still good.
