I added a cut up zucchini with the vegetables (and my son ate it!). Next time I will add garlic and use less sauce. Good recipe.

It was tasty enough to eat. But in the end, I felt it was a little bland. To me it just tasted like spaghetti sauce. Maybe I will add less sauce if I make it again. I think more spices should be added to the recipe and/or the chicken should be marinated/seasoned. But having said that though, I went back for seconds and enjoyed it enough.

I would make this again, but I would make a few changes. This dish can be made with much less trouble in the oven by boiling the pasta first, cooking the chicken and vegetables in a sautee pan, then mixing all together and baking. It tasted great though!

This is delicious! My family loved it! I used plain spaghetti sauce and doctored it up with garlic, Italian seasoning, and used a little extra cheese. Recommended to a friend who's family loved it as well!

Great recipe! A couple of modifications/additions I made to give it a bit more flavour: 1/2 tbsp garlic salt; 2 tbsp Italian seasoning; 1 tsp parsley flakes; sauteed mushrooms. Both my fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, he almost finished the entire thing in one sitting! This recipe is definitely a keeper and it will be added to my weekly rotation.

The entire family loved this dish. I did cook the chicken with minced garlic, garlic salt, pepper and oregano - otherwise I think it would have been a bit bland. It is definitely in our rotation!

This recipe was delicious. I added some shrimp along with the chicken and seasoned it with garlic salt and pepper. I used a mushroom and green pepper pasta sauce. Followed everything else according to the recipe, and it turned out great.

Another favorite for dinner. I've made this several time each time it get better, I always add thick and chunky sauce and lots of cheese we love cheese.
