Notes
- This recipe is gluten-free if you substitute an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch for the all-purpose flour. Serve with gluten-free pasta.
- If you're really short on time, you can use jarred pasta sauce instead of making your own.
- If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish and continue with the recipe instructions.
