Hubby and I love this. Use chicken or turkey, both work great. Makes a great meal for two people.
Tasty! But we felt this could have easily used twice as much turkey as called for. Just to make it prettier, think I'll use penne or mini bowtie pasta next time.
Made this, doubled the receipe, used Dole tomatoes with mild green chiles and leftover pork roast. Really good
