Yummy! I did modify it a tad. My roasted red peppers were bad so I used fresh red peppers. I also cooked the chicken breasts separately and then diced up 4 oz. to put in with the sauce. I served it over noodles. The red pepper flakes add just enough heat for me. I'll be adding it to my recipes, thanks!

We love this recipe though I didn't give it five stars because it did get "improved" by us. If you add a bit of Sherry, it really improves the dish dramatically. Also, if you use marinated artichokes, it adds a bit of zest to the dish. We serve this over gluten free pasta. Delicious! It's one of my husband's favorite meals.

We made this tonight and it was delicious! It was easy to make and easy on the calorie budget. We served it over plain couscous. We'll definitely make it again. Yum!
