The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because it wasn't particularly attractive by the end! The sauce crumbled the breading and made it very damp. However, the dish was a total "5" on flavour! My brother said it tasted like KFC. It was very tender and the sauce was great. I didn't have grated parmesan so I used mozzarella, and that was good. I used part dried basil and part fresh, also good. I used part whipping cream and part 2% milk, which worked fine too. I ended up doubling the chicken broth though, as the original amount was not enough and immediately soaked right into the chicken breading and disappeared. I also thinly sliced and sauteed red peppers in place of the pimento peppers. I would make this again most likely, but not for company because of the appearance of the dish. Definitely try it though!

I hate pimentos, so I left them out and it was still delicious!

Me, my husband, and our 11 year old son all loved this! I didn't have any pimentos on hand so I chopped about 1/2 of a red bell pepper and cooked with the chicken. We had it with rice, but pasta would be great too. This is a keeper in our house!

My husband felt the pimentos overwhelmed the sauce and one of my kids would not eat it but I thought it was nice.

Wow, yummy! My 20-month-old and 4-yr-old had a full plate of seconds. This is a favorite for us, thanks! I added 1 clove minced garlic and a splash of chardonnay I had on hand (hm, I always have it on hand). I think it would be excellent with or without the additions.

This was delicious. I didn't have chicken breasts, only legs and thighs, but they worked great (I didn't bread them). I served the chicken with some of the sauce drizzled on it and put the rest in a gravy boat to have as extra and to pour on the couscous I made to go with it. I'm still thinking about the sauce. Yummmm....I may add mushrooms to the sauce next time, but I love mushrooms.

The chicken alone without sauce was outstanding. It was moist inside and crispy outside. The kids loved it. I doubled the sauce since I was cooking for husband and I plus 7 kids. My kids didn't eat much of the sauce, so I had lots leftover. The only changes I made to the recipe were adding a little salt and garlic powder to the breadcrumbs and using seeded tomato instead of the pimento. The sauce was very rich and very yummy! Thanks for the great recipe.

Very nice! I used 8 chopped garlic cloves. I added chopped tomatos from the garden and marinated artichokes from the pantry. I did skip the peppers but will use them another time. This dish pleased the whole family.

Very tasty. I didn't add the pimentos (personal taste)and I doubled the sauce portion so I could use the extra sauce for noodles. If you're watching carbs, you could skip breading the chicken and it's still delicious.

This was very good! Did not have heavy cream, substituted 1 cup evaporated milk and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Came out great, wonderful flavor, served over chicken and pasta. Chicken breast also was good, juicy, not dry. Everyone loved it!

OMG, SO yummy! I made it just as is the first time and it was great! The second time I made it, I doubled the sauce to get some extra sauce, plus it gave me some to have leftover to drizzle on my lunch the next day. The sauce is good on lots of dishes. YUM!!

Delicious. I'm always looking for recipes to use my fresh basil. Suggest adding some garlic to the oil when cooking the chicken though.

This recipe was great to use the leftover cooked chicken in my freezer...I just basically simmered all of the ingredients together and served over rice for a very tasty meal. Didn't have cream so used 2% milk and thickened it with a bit of corn starch. The taste was a 5 even as I made it, but next time I want to make the recipe as written - I think the presentation would be better.

This dish looks impressive and tastes even better. And, it was very easy to make. I pounded the breasts down a little before frying them. The pimentos seemed like a strange ingredient, but they add great flavor to the finished product.

WOW! This dish is absolutely delicious. I've made it a few times since discovering the recipe and it is a new family favorite. The only thing I do differently is I double all the ingredients (except the chicken)to make extra sauce. I have served it over rice or over pasta (both are equally as good)with a nice dinner salad. This recipe has so much flavor, if you don't love it you've done something wrong!!

Left out the pimento peppers and baked the chicken in the oven. Doubled the sauce as another reviewer suggested so I'd have enough to go over angel hair pasta. This sauce was so heavy I should have done linguine! It was rich, thick and very creamy. All I had to add to give it a little more flavor was 1 tsp. of minced garlic from the jar. My husband was looking for more of a tomato basil cream sauce, so I added a 14.5 oz. can of italian sytle diced tomatoes to some of it and a little sugar and we had it!
