WONDERFUL! Made this tonight with a side of bruschetta pasta and we all were in heaven! My 3 and 5 year old loved this. The chicken came out super moist. I had my doubts that it would since I use filleted chicken breasts which should require less cooking time. I followed this one as stated and it was still VERY moist! I increased the garlic but stuck to everything else. Definite repeater for us. Thank you!

I have this recipe in my Taste for Home cookbook. I made this last night after skimming through the book. I did make some substitutes. Ran out of garlic, so I used garlic powder, I grated Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan, used dry basil since I don't keep fresh on hand, and used canned drained petite diced tomatoes. My family thought it was tasty and told me to make it again!! Its a KEEPER.

I usu cook chicken similar to this on the stovetop, which feels like it takes forever. I ran across this recipe, had some leftover bruschetta from recipe #44232 and wanted to relax a little after a very stressful day! Perfect recipe, cooking method and flavor. Thanks for posting!
