This is really good. I omitted the bacon as I served this with a Caesar salad. Also, I cooked this on the BBQ. Rather than dredge in flour I brushed the chicken with a little bit of oil from the tomatoes and sprinkled with the oregano and basil. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Very good dish. I think it might be a little more tender cooked slowly in the oven. I added a little basil pesto to each piece. I think it would improve this dish to sprinkle salt and pepper on the outside of the chicken. We also served it with salad as well as garlic bread. Nice meal.

This was fabulous! I used sundried tomato pesto as I had no sundried tomatoes, fresh blanched spinach, chopped, and I crumbled the bacon. It was sooo good.

Delightful and so quick to prepare! I served with a salad rather than pasta.
