Variations:
Prepare recipe as directed above, except:
Quick Eggplant Mozzarella:
Substitute a large 1 lb. eggplant, cut lengthwise into 4 slices, in place of chicken breasts.

Hot Italian Sandwiches:
Cut a French bread loaf into 4 pieces; slice each piece in half lengthwise. Brush inside with olive oil and toast in a 350 degree F oven. Spoon some sauce over bottom half of bread, top with prepared chicken or eggplant. Top melted cheese with chopped fresh basil and/or a pinch of dried red pepper flakes, if desired.

Tips:
If chicken breasts are very large, slice 2 large chicken breasts in half horizontally to about 1/2-inch thickness to create 4 pieces.

Adjust the flavor of the sauce to your taste:
If too tart or acidic, add 1/4 tsp. sugar and stir well.
If too bland or sweet, add 1/4 tsp. red wine vinegar and stir well.
Taste and repeat, as necessary, adding 1/8 tsp. sugar or vinegar at a time until the right balance is achieved.
