I created this recipe one night when I was looking for a new way to prepare chicken. It’s moist, tender, saucy, and healthy, too. I recently lost 30-some pounds, and this is one dish I prepare often. —Carla Wells, Somerset, Kentucky

This was flavorful but we liked the Tuscan Chicken by Debra Legrand better. The two recipes are nothing alike. This is saucy and the other is not.

So easy to make, yet fancy enough for company! I served it with white rice.

This is excellent, especially with the honey wheat breadsticks. My family will enjoy this all year long.

I completely agree with the last review- either drain the tomatos or don't add the chicken broth...also, I feel like it could have used just a little more favor- but it was pretty good!

Very good, my only complaint was how runny the sauce was. In the future I think I will either drain the tomatoes or not add the chicken broth. I sprinkled a little parmesan cheese on top. It was good and I think I may serve it over brown rice next time. Overall it was good.

This is a very good, healthy meal, nice and light for a hot summer day. I prepared it exactly as the recipe says. I will definitely make this one, again.
