Knew everyone was enjoying this dish when there was silence at the table. Omitted the mushrooms and basil because I didn't have them. Used olive oil on the bottom of the baking pan as well as drizzled over the breast & sprinkled Italian seasoning on them instead of salt & pepper. Took at least 40 minutes to bake since they were a little thick. Excellent Flavors, definitely make again, great basic recipe that you can easily change up with whatever flavors you prefer or have on hand.

Great Dish! Simple, yet sophisticated. I omitted the sun dried tomatoes all together, because they don't carry it at my local store. I also found thinly sliced whole chicken breasts, which made my job very easy. Next time I might sear the chicken before putting it in the oven, for some color. Thank you.

DH and I made this last night for dinner. I thought it was tasty and I enjoyed the combination of feta, sundried tomatoes, mushroom and basil, especially. My husband said he liked, but did not love it. I thought it was easy to make with plenty of nice, fresh ingredients. The recipe does not specify when to put in the sundried tomatoes, so we sauteed them with the onion, pepper, garlic cloves and mushrooms...not sure if this was correct. I followed all ingredients and directions as posted. Thanks!
