I just made this for my family and it was a HUGE hit! It was easy to make and totally delicious! I did make my own maranara sauce (Tomato sauce, italian seasoning, and garlic and onion powder) And added extra cheese. I am definatly makingg this again!

Everyone I've made this dish for loved it. I did make one change. Instead of the uncooked chicken I used Tyson Grilled & Ready fully cooked chicken breast strips. I also use a little more sauce then the recipe calls for because my husband liked his sauce.
