We love this combination of chicken and tomatoes. I like to top it with a little grated Parmesan cheese or part-skim mozzarella.—Rachel Greenawalt Keller, Roanoke, Virginia

This a really good recipe but I'd make a few changes, I would cut the recipe by 2 chicken breasts and the flour by a tablespoon, unless your feeding 4 or more. I'd also recommend adding a bit of minced garlic when cooking the vegtables to give it a more robust taste.
