This was tasty and it deserves at least 3 stars just for being something easy to throw together at the last minute from pantry and fridge staples. Anything to make the dinner hour easier is good in my book. However, I have to say that I didn't find this special enough to come back to it again. I felt like it needed a bit of a flavor boost. Still, a solid three star recipe.

I prepared my bacon in the oven (did the whole package. added it in at the very end assembly. Added orgeano, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cooked chicken in skillet with a little olive oil. Felt the dish was a bit dry and added a little more olive oil before serving. Added real Parm cheese. Love, love, love. Even the 2-year-old ate his fair share.

This dish is both interesting and delicious. I only added half the bacon because it became soggy in the wine and I enjoy my bacon very well done. I included cloves of garlic as well. It was a great meal for dinner and even cold as a late lunch the next day.

This is a good base recipe but in my opinion needs a few changes otherwise it's kind of boring. I give this 4 stars based on the additions I made: added 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 small onion chopped, a handful of fresh mushrooms, crushed red pepper, fresh basil, dried oregano (instead of generic "italian seasoning"). I've made this with both fresh tomatoes and a can of diced tomatoes and it comes out good. I would use canned unless you have GOOD fresh tomatoes, which are often hard to come by. Also I would not cook the chicken all the way and then simmer for 20 minutes, the chicken would be rubbery by that point. I cook the chicken halfway then it cooks the rest of the way by simmering.

Great, simple recipe. I left out the wine and used canned, crushed tomatoes instead and it still came out tasty! Next time I'm going to try using pancetta instead of bacon.

Very tasty recipe! I only strayed from the recipe to add a small Vidalia chopped, used a 32 oz can of chopped tomatoes (cuz I don't have time to chop fresh), 2 tsp Italian seasoning, and 5 garlic cloves. I will be making this again!

This was a success! I am giving it a 4/5 because we made a few adjustments to the recipe as suggested by others. We used linguine pasta and cooked it towards the end not letting it sit. We added diced garlic, onions, mushrooms and a few red pepper flakes. We also used 1 1/2 cans Italian diced tomatoes. Our 11 year old daughter liked it so much she wanted to lick the plate.

This was a good recipe. I used fresh tomatoes from the farmers' market and took the suggestion of other reviewers and added some garlic along with the chicken. I also added fresh basil to the finished dish. I cut down on the amount of bacon called for, too.
