Excellent! We all enjoyed this very much. I used a GF quinoa orzo, so it took a little longer to cook. Its going into the rotation!

Wow, Wow, Wow! Creamy, luscious goodness. We loved this. My DH says 6 stars. It was so simple and quick to prepare. I had just bought a basil plant so it was my first recipe made with it. Made just as written except I used a 4 oz. can of mushrooms and no tomato. I think next time I'll cut chicken into bite size chunks. Can't wait to make it again! Thanks for posting.
