Delicious! It exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciated this recipe because I was able to serve the breaded/pan-fried chicken to my husband (who isn't crazy about sauces or tomatoes) plain and then put my chicken back into the lovely sauce. The tomato sauce is so tasty and I loved it spooned over the rice, too. Thanks for a simple, quick and tasty recipe! Made for Spring 2013 Pick A Chef.

Wow! This is delicious, very fresh-tasting with the pan fried chicken, tomatoes, basil and lemon juice. I scaled the recipe for a smaller portion, but did allow for proportionately more sauce. I fried the chicken in a mixture of butter and olive oil, and used vermouth instead of white wine. I stuck to the recipe for everything else. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely recipe with us.
