"I loved this recipe, though I ended up with a pretty different outcome! We couldn't find all the right ingredients and substituted a few hot green peppers (I think I used 2) for the pimento and used dried basil instead of fresh basil (same amount, though). It was still absolutely fantastic if you like spicy food (which I love). The sauce was still delicious and I can imagine how good it would've been w/ the right peppers. I served it with some penne and olive oil with sauted asparagus and garlic on the side. I'll definitely be cooking this one again!" - DarajiYield: 4 Servings Ready in 20 minutes

Very tasty and easy to make

Very Good, the Chicken was good, my wife made it disappear, so I think she liked, and my lil girl liked it all aswell.

The BEST recipe I've made so far! I used a little cream of chicken soup to thicken up the sauce, and added one clove of fresh garlic. Other than that, it was a perfect recipe. Very tasty!!

This was a good dinner - but I would need to try again to work on the gravy. The parm stayed a bit more chunky and didn't melt evenly and it was a little thinner than I would have liked. Good flavor though! Did add salt, baked chicken in the oven after browning and served over pasta, like other reviews recommended. Will try again and work on the gravy!

Awesome! One of my favorite treats dinners!

So I made an oopsie....I got around to the cream part and realized that I totally spaced out buying some so I grabbed some plain greek yogurt because it was all I had. Took it off the heat and tried it out...too warm it curdled. So I dumped it and just used the broth and basil and Parmesan. I also did not use the Pimeto but used some flaked red pepper instead and probably quadrupled the basil cause I LOVE basil and used FRESH which I think is a must with this. Overall it turned out fab!!! The sauce was watery of course without the cream and when it cooled the cheese thickened so just needed to be rewarmed. All and all without the cream it was about 146 calories per chicken tender so awesome for those of us

Excellent Italian bistros quality taste! I used 4 oz of Italian seasoned canned tomatoes as I do not care for pimientos. Also put chicken in oven after Browning to ensure it wad completely cooked. My husband has thought I got take out from our favorite Italian place!

Great recipe. Put breasts into oven covered with foil after browning them to ensure they were cooked through. Also used jar of chargrilled capsicum instead of pimentos as I could not buy them. Will be making this again.

This was fabulous! Tu cut fat and calories, I used evaporated milk instead of cream, and it worked beautifully. I also replaced the pimentos with almost a full can of drained diced tomatoes (the one with basil, garlic and oregano). The fresh basil is essential. Restaurant-quality taste here for sure.

Excellent dish! Will make again. Served with a side salad and crescent rolls.

Food turned out good although I had to put the chicken in the sauce for a second cooking because it didn't cook enough in 10 minutes. The flavor could have used a little salt. Overall very good.

This dish was excellent! I thought the sauce was too thin and cooked it a little longer to thicken it up. As soon as I put the sauce on the chicken it was perfect because the bread crumbs thicken the sauce allnon its own. :)

This was different in a good way. I also used diced garlic tomato

I made this last night but substituted a can of drained diced basil/garlic tomatoes instead of pimento and added spinach. I paired it with roasted rosemary redskin potatoes. Tasted fabulous and my boyfriend loved it, and especially the sauce with the potatoes. I'm pretty sure I'll go home tonight and discover he ate the leftovers for breakfast.

This was a great recipe. Could have used a bit more salt, but we who felt that way, just used the salt shaker:)

Holy crap this was so amazingly good!! AND it was so quick and easy to make!! Wish I would have made it with angel hair pasta but next time I will for sure!
