Although we enjoyed this chicken dish, I think I might make some changes next time. I did use Ro-Tel tomatoes instead of plain. I didn't particularly like the texture of the ricotta cheese and think it needs to be mixed with something so it doesn't feel so curdled(cream cheese or sour cream possibly). I liked how simple it was to prepare and think with some changes it will become a regular.
