Reviews
I am not a big fan of cooking plain white chicken breasts with ingredients thrown on top, but I gave this a try. Unfortunately, it tasted as expected. The sauce was great, but Next Time, I will bread the chicken first & fry it, pouring less of the sauce on top, so it doesn’t get too mushy.
Just added some minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Easy and delicious. Will definitely make it again.
Cut chicken breast in half, added a pint of fresh mushrooms, tons of Italian seasoning, and garlic. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese last couple minutes and then more once you plate the dish. Also put it on a bed of rigatoni pasta. Served with a fresh crusty French loaf.
We served this dish with spinach and mozzarella ravioli and topped it with fresh parmesan. Amazing flavors and really simple to make.
This is a great basic recipe. I have made it twice using pitted kalamata olives – I hate canned black olives – the kalamata olives gives the dish a rich briny taste. I also have added fresh spinach and sliced zucchini, sliced onions. I slice the chicken breasts horizontally rather than beat them with a mallet, salt and pepper them, add some thyme. Spread the olives and then any additional vegetables on the chicken and then the beans and sauce. I initially cooked it for 40 minutes, but the chicken did not cook quite enough so added another 5 minutes and family said that did the trick. I will continue to experiment with this recipe. My family really enjoys the flavors.
This is a tasty, hearty and simple meal and is a new go to meal as it meets my goals of healthy, easy and quick.
Made it following the recipe exactly, no changes. Very easy, and VERY delicious. I will definitely be making this again!
Not much flavor
Easy and delicious! Five stars.
Excellent dish. Even my grandsons ate every single bite of food on their plates. I used regular sauce and diced 3 cloves of fresh garlic. To the regular sauce I then added turmeric, tarragon, rosemary and basil
This was fine. Easy. Pretty healthy. I wouldn’t make it for guests or anything.
This recipe is fabulous! Quick and easy dinner for 4! Will definitely make again!
Easy to prepare. delicious
I made this as described except I used a tomato-basil sauce, as my is allergic to garlic. I also used sliced Calamata olives as detest the canned sliced black olives. It was wonderful! The chicken was very moist and the olives added a great flavor. My wife raved and this will be a welcomed addition to our menu!
No changes; I will definitely make again soon.
didn’t make any changes. found it simple and delicious for a quick week night dinner. I served it with steamed greenbeans.
Made it as stated. It was easy. I think next time I will brown chicken beforehand.
This dish was so quick and easy. It was delicious and I will make it again.
Used thighs instead and added minced garlic, sea salt, pepper and oregano. Used black olives, white Northern bean, tomatoes sauce and topped with Parmesan cheese. It was amazing. Wanted to celebrate our trip to Tuscany in two days. We were not disappointed!
I made this and its so good. My family raved about it.
The whole family liked this recipe however they all said it would be better over angel hair pasta- maybe use half a chicken breast per person! I think a little more spaghetti sauce would work better if over past!
