Super tasty, super easy! Added bacon as well . A keeper for sure. I did spoon out some of the sauce before covering with cheese.

It was absolutely delicious. My entire family loved it, and my picky toddler are every last bit.

It doesn’t stick because the chicken releases HEAPS of it’s own liquid… it’s almost swimming in it by the end – hence no sticking ever 🙂

How does this not stick to the bowl? If I did this in my SC I would end up with a mess of chicken and sauce stuck like glue! :-\

You can always sear the chicken first (and cut back cooking time) to reduce liquids coming from chicken
Also you can start with just chicken, drain juices, then add the sauce/cheese after 🙂

Loved this recipe . So Easy. I did the tea towel trick and also removed some of the sauce but mine still seemed a bit “watery”, Would love some recommendations for he tomatoe sauce. Will definitely be making again.

First attempt at this today, and it was amazing!!!! So simple and easy, 15 mins wasn’t enough to melt the cheese all the way, so put under the grill for a couple of mins and it was sensational. It a must try everyone 👌🏼👌🏼

I enjoyed this and have lots of leftovers as my partner wasn’t too keen. Next time I’m going to try Paulenes BBQ version. I also put it into the oven for a couple of minutes to brown the cheese.

Easy and delicious! Used a jar of bolognaise pasta sauce and breast fillets. I actually finished it with smoked ham and topped with cheese but under the grill as I’m planning to shred the leftover chicken into the sauce to use for burritos tomorrow night

I made a BBQ version of this one
Swapping the tomato based sauce for a small bottle of BBQ Rib sauce and I added a diced onion over the chicken fillets also
Still added the cheese at the end
The kids especially LOVED this version (we are a bbq over tomato fan family here lol)
When I make it again I think I’ll stick to the BBQ version 🙂

I make this using chicken breasts as thats what we prefer, it is absolutely divine! And it takes 30 seconds to put on!

I made this and it was amazing. I added bacon and used chicken breast because i like the breast better. I also used herb and garlic pizza sauce.

You can increase it to as many fillets for serves as you need 🙂 Working on 2 fillets per person

Yum, enjoyed by the whole family. Will now become regular in my house. It’s nice to find something that everyone eats and enjoys especially with fussy kids. I added sliced ham and a few Italian herbs. Kids thought it tasted like a pizza so I’ll take that as a win.

Delicious! I added ham and left the lid off for the last hour, temp high to reduce the liquid. Also left the lid off to melt the cheese. Such a versatile recipe, simply change the sauce to change the flavour! Next time i am going to try romano sauce and add bacon & olives.

Wow delicious I did use the leggos pizza sauce and it did give a lot more flavour.
Next time I want to try the ham with it!
Thanx

Wow this meal is just amazing !! I added a slice of ham to each thigh and then followed the recipe and served them with chips, veggies and garlic bread. All 5 family members were extremely pleased with the result and licked their plates clean. Definitely a new family favourite at our place, thanks for yet another brilliant recipe Paulene 🙂

Tried this tonight and it was scoffed down by everyone! I just used a tin of crushed tomatoes and added some Italian herbs and garlic and bacon. Really easy and will definitely make it again! 🙂

Absolutely loved this meal, and so did my hubby and daughter. Will definitely be having this again, and being so, so easy to prepare is an added bonus.
