Very tasty. Made exactly as written using a pyrex dish, rubbing the chicken breast with salt and pepper before adding the other ingredients. My only suggestion would be to reduce the amount of chicken broth to half a cup since the sauce did come out very thin. I ended up pureeing some roasted red pepper and cooking the sauce down to get it a little thicker. I also added some quartered mushrooms which were very delish. The chicken was cooked perfectly, by the way, and I had a thicker breast that I thought wouldn't be done. Thank you Manda! -
Outstanding recipe! I didn't have any zucchini, added slightly steamed broccoli instead. Also had some roasted green/red peppers and eggplant which I put in instead of the raw red pepper. Looks like this recipe is flexible to use with a variety of vegetables. I also used spaghetti sauce instead of tomato sauce. Next time I might cut back on the chicken broth a tiny bit, or uncover for the last 15 min of baking, as the sauce was a wee bit soupy. Also, I think I put in a bit too much brown sugar, I'll be careful with that measurement next time as the dish could go too sweet. Served with bowtie pasta. A huge, huge hit ... I'm sure this will become a regular. -
Hidden Gems review- This is delicious!!! Made this for supper and it was enjoyed by all. Simple to make after a long day at work ( cut up all veggies the night before so I just had to assemble and cook) and the tastes blended so well I could have had 2nd's but am being careful. So my 2nd's went to lunch for work the next day and the taste was even better as the sauce and veggies marinated longer with the chicken. This has beeen added to my fave cookbook!

I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!)
I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit.
My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
