Very good and flavorful. Used chickent tenders instead of whole chicken breasts and dried cranberries instead of currants. The store did not have currants so I used what I had. Very very yummy.

Steve, what a nice meal we had with this dish. Thanks for posting it. The combination of the onion, green pepper, tomatoes tasted great, and made the dish look great. I only had a couple of currants, so I plumped up some raisins in hot water. The crunchy almonds were a nice touch. The family liked this dish, and I will be making it again for sure.

Delicious!! The flavors of this dish were perfectly blended - nothing overpowering - and definately not bland! I opted, however, to skip the breading. I fried some bacon before-hand, seasoned my chicken w/ salt and pepper, and fried it in the bacon grease (the calories on this dish are already extremely high - what's a few more!?). I also pounded my chicken down to about 1/2" so the baking time wasn't nearly as long - maybe 15-20 minutes. I left out the currants and the almonds by mistake, but even without them, this recipe has become one of my favorites! Thanks so much! :)
