  3. Meanwhile, heat skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Lightly spray with olive oil. Add chicken patty strips; cook 5 minutes turning frequently.

I'm giving this recipe a: 

I didn't have Italian style tomatoes, so I just added some Italian seasoning to the skillet. I also didn't have enough liquid to bring the dish to a boil. But my family loved it (especially my husband). This is certainly a keeper and I will be making it again!!
