Italian Chicken Saute

mjerusha's Note:

This is a simple, easy to fix recipe I got off the back of a can of Del Monte Spaghetti sauce. Simple but tasty! (Note: You could use whatever spaghetti sauce you want, but I do highly recommend Del Monte's Four Cheese sauce. It it one of my favorites. I like it better than some of the more expensive sauces, of course with the exception of Classico!)
