I’ve made it with fresh tomatoes, and I’ve made it with canned diced tomatoes. I strongly recommend canned tomatoes, as it makes the sauce soooo much saucier.
Also, it doesn’t need sugar added. It’s simply delicious.
Wife approved! This dish was flavorful and easy to prep. Definitely saving this one
Only giving 4 stars because I augmented the sauce & while I like it, I want to do/undo some tweaks, ha!!! Also want to pass on some chicken “hacks”. It’s taken me too many years to figure out how to make juicy tasty chicken & this recipe pushed me to try new skills. First, always pound your meant (pause for laughter). Next season well: salt, pepper, FRESH herbs, & whatever else floats your boat. I do NOT recommend cooking the chicken fully in the pan. Brown each side (for me it was less than 5 mins each side & that was with uneven sized chicken breasts, one of which was HUGE!). Then transfer to the oven (350^) or use a convection oven (been trying out my new Ninja Foodie air fry oven & no I’m not being paid to say that). I set it to air roast for 10 mins @ 325 though it probably would’ve been okay with 8 mins. Still came out juicy & super flavorful & I thought complimented my sauce well! Thanks everyone for the recommendations ~ I followed several & ended up having enough sauce to freeze, yeay!!!
Very tasty and easy to prepare. I used a good quality prepared pesto instead of making it from scratch as in the recipe- estimated that it would be a generous 1/2 c. I reduced the amount of chicken to 2 small breasts (actually one whole 2 halves) but kept all other amounts as listed hoping to have excess sauce that i could use the next night in another dish. While the sauce was delicious we found it to be a bit skimpy for our tastes and if it had been served with something like noodles or rice I d think it would not be sufficient. Next time I d double all the sauce ingredients.
I made it just as stated and loved it!! Like a restaurant meal!
Indeed this recipe has possibilities for a wonderful meal. I think that I had problems with the chicken I chose because it didn't brown up as well as I'd have liked. I did use a little butter along with the oil to brown it. I felt initially that the sauce wasn't going to produce enough liquid to make a sauce or topping but it did come together. I would have seasoned the chicken in the beginning more and that is an easily rectified situation. We thought our dinner was very tasty and would make this again. Thank you very much!
Very good dish. Wish I remembered to take a photo. Going to try this with beef.
I thought it was “ok” but gave it mire stars because my husband did love it.
