I had some cooked chicken to use up and a jar of my Roasted Tomato and Garlic Sauce sitting in my fridge, so put together this nice filling lunch for me and my son today. He loved it!!
He is a bit fussy with certain vegetables, so this is a great way of getting some into his diet and of course mine too (although I actually love my vegetables)

I love love LOVED this! I served it to a party of 11 people (quadrupled the recipe), and everyone LOVED it -- even the kids! They couldn't get enough. I added chopped mushrooms to the chicken/corn mixture, and I added zucchini and Italian seasonings to the sauce recipe. That's what is so great about this recipe -- you can modify it anyway you want -- and it will be delicious every time!
