"I first heard of making Chicken this way from my friend, Judy. She had gotten the recipe from her daughter, Kathleen. They're two Irish women who think Italian and cook Italian. I put a bit of my ideas into it by including the Macaroni, Cheese, and Tomatoes. Italian women have a tendency of always including Macaroni, Cheese, and Tomatoes into foods".
