EXCELLENT! (SHORT CUT: I used a can of del monte diced tomatoes and basil instead of the plum tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. I also fried the chicken on the stove instead of puting it in the oven- to save time, though it did give a more crisp effect)

Excellent! Next time, I would definitely double the sauce though. I passed this on to 3 people and they raved about it. (They doubled the sauce).

This was good, but definitely needed more sauce! There was barely enough for 2 chicken breasts, let alone 6! That being said, I cannot give a 5 star rating, but it did taste really good.

Excellent! Many many steps but it was well worth it. I used stewed tomatoes with basil and a few roma tomatoes because the ones at the store didnt look all that great. Other than that followed the recepie. When assembling the I mixed the noddles with alittle of the rouxe then added some of the tomatoes in mixed well. put on the chicken, added the rest of the tomatoes and rest of the sauce covered with cheese and baked till cheese melted. I also DOUBLED the sauce. It was so yummy! Thanks for posting this recipe. ****EDITED I froze the left over portions in freezer containers for my husband to take to work in his lunch and they froze well and heated well in the microwave. This is an OAMC friendly recipe.

This turned out absolutely Delicious!! It's a lot easier to make than it looked. Next time I make it I have been asked to make double the amount of the sauce.
Also, I think the chicken breast that I used were too thick. Mine turned out about an inch thick, so I may cut them in half next time. Best recipe I have ever tried. Thanks!

Fantastic! I used canned Italian tomatoes, and pounded the chicken breasts slightly. Got great reviews.

This was easy to make...just time consuming. I cut the chicken breasts in half which made things easier. I've had the Oliver Garden version and this was better! My family absolutely loved it, and I'll cook this again.

Excellent! The DH took one bite and declared, "Delish!!" As said before, it was easier than it looked and I will double the sauce also the next time. This will make a nice "company" dish to impress or DH said I could make it for him any time again, too!

Very delicious recipe. We all enjoyed it. It was so nice and creamy. I used fresh basil from my garden and used canned plum tomatoes that I cored and chopped. This is a keeper for sure! Thanks for a great recipe. UPDATE EDIT: Wow.. this isn't just good with chicken. I made it with ravioli, too. It's delicious! The sauce is wonderful to have on hand in the freezer ready to go. I have doubled the sauce (with the tomato mixture mixed right in with the cream mixture) and put in zip style bags and freeze it! This sauce really gets thick. When reheating I just add skim milk to thin to desired consistency. I cooked the ravioli until almost done and then tossed in pan with sauce to coat and finish off. Mmmmm Better than an expensive restaurant. Wow! Try serving a few ravioli on a small plate for a hot appetizer before your Italian dinner. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a shave of Parmesean.

This was so good..I did make some changes.Instead of romas.I had 2 pounds of fresh firm garden tomatoes ,I wanted to use.The flavors and texture of fresh tomatoes and fresh basil on this dish is what makes it so good,,I cooked 2 chicken breasts but kept the sauce amounts as shown for double the sauce. I thought the sauce was lacking alittle and gave it a pinch of cayanne pepper and 3/4 tsp granulated chicken bouillion and 3/4 tsp black pepper...Gave it a nice flavor....Layered in indivdual casserole dishes,this was a very pleasant meal with #369426 Almost famous breadsticks(olive garden copycat) Highly recommend both recipes..Thank U....
