I made this recipe as directed, EXCEPT, since the chicken is listed as optional, and we had been eating chicken several times recently, I very successfully subbed shrimp for the chicken. I used your recipe#361350 for the tomatoes, and may I say this is a truly delicious and easily prepared pasta dish. Made for Spring PAC 2014
