This is a yummy recipe. The next time I will try to cut the fat in the recipe in several ways because I don't think it will detract from the taste. I will decrease the amount of oil and/or butter by about 25-50% because there were pools of oil on the top of the sauce at the end. I will also use a combination of half and half and milk combined with flour to thicken the sauce instead of heavy cream. The mushrooms I added were a great addition. This is a great recipe for company!

I loves this recipe! It came out soooo good. I did a few changes - used roasted red pepper flavored olive oil, used twice as much garlic, used twice as many red peppers, and instead of regular tomatoe sause I used Classico Creations sun dried tomatoe. I also simmered it all a little longer to make it thicker. My husband loved it! Thanks for the recipe, I'm definately passing it along to everyone!

The sherry added a delightfully subtle flavor to the sauce. We really enjoyed this pasta dish, Deanna.

Some added hot peppers and olives just make it better. I am gointo try others suggstions for fat free non dairy creamer. Thanks to Deanna for sharing.

This dish is scrumptious! It truly is restaurant quality. I speed up the cooking time by combining the sherry and cream and simmering together for ten minutes. Leftovers don't look as appealing as the oil tends to seperate, but then again there are rarely leftovers!

Everyone in my family loved it and with young children that is not always easy! I lowered the fat by using fat-free non-dairy cream instead of heavy cream and reducing olive oil to 2T. You can always thicken with cornstarch mixed with sherry at the end if necessary.

I was trying to use what I had in my pantry this week and this recipe popped up. Though I have to admit that my tomato sauce was canned, and I added fresh parsley and basil (my sauce was begging for green) - I otherwise followed the recipe. The guys loved it - an easy, yummy dinner with ingredients I almost always have on hand. Thanks!!

This dish is one of our favorites! Although, it is only for a rare occasion since it's so rich. Before frying, I dredge the chicken pieces thru some flour mixed w/a bit of salt & pepper. Also, add slices of black olives (when tossing in the peppers),if desired. Can also be made with shrimp instead of chicken!

Personally I ended up with a pink, runny mess that could be considered a sauce with chunks of chicken in it. I didn't find it to be all that appetizing.
