Good combination of ingredients, but for our taste it needed a little more. I added half a cup of canned mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. I only used a 16ounce can of red tomatoes and didn't add the red cherry pepper (didn't have any!) The biggest improvement for me was that I blended the veggies in a blender after cooking. (Just a bit!) This made it much creamier and smoother. (Plus my kids didn't pick out the chunks of veggies!) I also added a whole cup (rather than a 1/2) of heavy cream as another reviewer wrote. I also boiled the chicken in chicken broth to cook it (juicier) and then cut it up and added it to the sauce to simmer for 30 minutes. Yummo! Thanks for the recipe!

This was simple dinner to make for a card night at my house and everyone "liked" it. I am from Centry NY and have had Chicken Riggies from just about every restaurant that serves them. I would have like a little more flavor. Next time I will play with the ingredients and see if I can get something closer to what I love in the riggies served in my favorite restaurants.

I was so excited to see a chicken riggies recipe here! i'm from CNY, but now live in Northern California. This was great, I couldn't find all the ingredients so I had to make substitutions; still was delicious!

Excellent ! We are from Central NY and this is as good as any restaurant there! Great for an informal dinner party and easy to modify if you like. Used some beautiful white pasta bowls and served it with crusty bread.

I tried this recipe once and it became an instant favorite although I do put the onion pepers and garlic in the blender with the sauce once they are cooked since my husband dont like them all that much... I have also tried this recipe using sausage instead of chicken and it is equally as good,if you havent already trying it with sausage is a must
