- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (recommended: McCormick)
- 1 (14-ounce) jar pasta sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1 (24-ounce) tube pre-made polenta, sliced 1/2-inch thick (recommended: Gennaro)

DREADFUL. Very blah. There's too much liquid; cutting back on the amount of pasta sauce will not help enough, and even if it did, there's not enough flavor to make using this recipe worthwhile. Yes, extra seasonings can be added but alot's required and it'd be better to throw this recipe out and go with a new one. I do alot of cooking, and this recipe 'sounded' good when I read it, but don't waste your time.

I Read all the reviews. I cooked it on high and used fresh carrots zucchini, white wine instead of sherry, and half way thru cooking added half an onion and fresh spinach. I also shredded the chicken to soak up some of the sauce when I put in the spinach. Served with fresh parm-Romano shaved on top and a warm baguette on the side. So good!

I read that the recipe was plain- but this was not the case with me! I also used Trader Joe's Fire Roasted vegetables. I did not use tomato paste but added extra sauce. All ingredients were organic. I coated the chicken with EVOO and was liberal with the rosemary and thyme (and red pepper flakes
Excellent!
