excellent easy recipe!<br/>this is a fresher, sweeter version of my "Barbie's chicken" and I think the basil makes a real difference!<br/>I actually made this for "barbie" as came to spend the weekend with me, and she gave it 5 as well :)<br/>made for Aussie Swap august 2010

I'm afraid this really didn't appeal to me all that much. DS wouldn't touch it after a taste, and DH was pretty neutral. I didn't care for the flavor combination of sun-dried tomatoes and cream, I think. I'm sorry we didn't like it better. Thanks anyway, Sonya! Update: Upped to 4 stars, because it's not the fault of the recipe that I didn't like one of the main ingredients.

Once the chicken is cooked, this recipe takes no time to make. I made exactly as per recipe and it was fantastic, very creamy and very yummy. I did serve some parmesan cheese on top, and it was terrific. We had some left over and I served it as a cold salad the next day, and it tasted just as nice cold as it did hot. Great easy and yummy recipe SonyaS01, will be making again both hot and cold.
