Comments
This can be served wonderfully with your favorite Pasta and Marina Sauce.

One of our family's favorites is to use this chicken cut into nice sized chunks tossed into a tossed greens salad with tomatoes, red onions, black olives, green peppers and radishes with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of cooked and chilled cheese tortellini. We like to use a homemade Sweetened Balsamic Viniagrette, but a tomato based dressing would also be excellent. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, toasted pine nuts, and fresh grated parmesan cheese for a zippy and fancy dancy flair if you like.
