About

I found a similar recipe with tomato paste instead of spaghetti sauce and pork chops instead of chicken. We don't eat a lot of pork so we substituted the chicken. Then, I forgot to pick up tomato paste at the supermarket, so I substituted spaghetti sauce. It was a huge hit, my family was asking for seconds.
