This was absolutely delicious. It is so easy but looks like you slaved for hours.

This has become one of our favourite family recipes! It's quite simple to make and tastes delicious. We like to serve it with rosemary and garlic potatoes! Another variation we've tried if you like spicy food is to replace the green pepper with chopped jalapenos and top with salsa instead of pasta sauce!

This recipie is a favorite. I marinated the chicken breasts in zesty italian for a day, which made the chicken even juicier. I cooked up some pasta for a side dish, and just poured on the exra tomato sauce,with some leftover mozzarella.
