Love it! Have made it once a week since I found it here. Sometimes I've had to adapt to what I've had on hand. I have basil plants in pots on the patio, and snip right before using.

It was very yummy! I cooked the chicken about 7-8 minutes per side because my thermometer wasn't showing the temp until then. The sauce was super delish!

My family and I love, love, love this chicken. We usually have enough sauce left over that I freeze it and use it again for this recipe or bake fish in it. It's great!

Wowwwwwwwwwwww so good! I will give not 5 but 10 starts. I used Shake`n Bake Parmesan Crusted by Kraft for bread crumbs 5.75 oz ( 1.74 at Walmart) and also I added little bit into the cream. I have told my husband it is so good that it reminds me Olive Garden Italian Restaurant.

This recipe isn't healthy enough to make it into our regular meal rotation, but it is SO good, I make a point to serve it occasionally. Excellent recipe for company or if you just want to treat yourself to a restaurant quality meal. A favorite that is sure to impress.

This was AMAZING!!! My husband and I both declared it was the best recipe I've tried out since we've been married - and it was really fast and easy. This sauce is to die for.

Very good sauce! I didn't bread the chicken. I cooked it in the skillet with 1tbsp butter and salt and pepper on it. Then I made the sauce minus the pimentos because we don't like those. Next time I'll add more fresh basil and less parmesan cheese.
