We really enjoyed this dish. I used the ham and fresh basil from the garden. I liked the ham but I want to try it again with the pepperoni. Rich and tasty! Thanks.

This was so good and so much more flavorful than I ever imagined! I don't usually like chicken recipes because it always tastes like a tastey dish with flavorless chicken added. I think the pounding of the chicken helped it absorb the flavors. I used 28 slices of pepperoni and 10 chicken tenderloins instead of the ham and chicken breasts. This made 5 servings, 309 calories each. Ate this with half of a plate of salad. yum!!

This was wonderful, I have made this a couple times now and it has been a hit BOTH times! Even the kids like it, which is no small feat. I made it just exactly as suggested. Great, really Thanks.

This was tremendous!! My DH and I enjoyed it very much! I think next time I will salt and pepper the chicken before I add the other ingredients - but otherwise it was amazing. There wasn't even a smidgen left! Thanks for posting!

This was very tasty! I turned it into a stovetop dinner (it was already 80 degrees in here without the oven on!) by using thin sliced chicken cutlets....sauteed first 7 ingredients, removed to bowl, wiped out skillet, browned one side of chicken cutlets, then flipped, removed from heat, added all the toppings and returned to heat to brown second side..covered the skillet to melt the cheese..yummy without heating the oven. Will definitely make again!
