The crunchy basil was quite different but added just the right touch. Enjoyed this very much - served over white rice. I had guests over and served it for lunch, even a self admitted tomato hater my friend thought it was great...

I really liked this. It wasn't "out of this world" but perfect for a weeknight dinner. The sauce could have used more flavor - maybe garlic?

Amazing! Totally elegant in presentation and flavor they'll never guess how quick and simple it was to make. It makes the house smell wonderful too. I LOVE it with the basil. To avoid a "hay" taste be sure to fry the basil to BRIGHT GREEN and NOT DARK GREEN or Black! I'm updating because I have made this several times now and tonight the grocery store did not have any fresh basil. I bought a bag of prewashed baby spinach and fried it instead and then added 2 teaspoons of dried basil to the sauce as I was cooking it. It was just as good and the baby spinach is about half the price or less than the basil. Also definately don't try making this with anything but real grape tomatoes. Their sweet unique flavor is what really does it for this dish. AND COOKING WINE! My store was out of cooking wine and I tried using a medium dry white and YUCK!!!

Apart from the extremely weird basil garnish - which does indeed have a distinctly grassy taste - this was a really tasty, really easy meal. I wasn't sure whether or not to keep the skin on the chicken, so I took the healthier option, and removed it. I was making 2 servings, but I used a whole can of low sodium, fat-free chicky broth, and simmered the breasts in it, turning them every 5 mins or so. I omitted the wine because I only had cheap plonk, and I know from experience that that sort of crappola adds nothing good to a dish. Great recipe. Thanks!

This was pretty good. A combo of sweet and tart. I might use a little less wine if I make it again. I took others advice and did not put the fried basil back on at the end. The chicken came out nice and juicy. Also a good way to use up some of the cherry tomatoes and basil in my garden!

This was great! Chicken is best when it is simmered in liquid sauce becuase it will not dry out.

Good but still a bit bland unless you get a little bit of every ingredient on your fork. It was pretty nevertheless. I think the rice could be left out very easily. I made it with artichoke risotto. Also, added fresh minced garlic.

We love the flavour of fresh basil, but did not care for the flavour of the fried basil..it almost had a 'hay' taste to it?? Will make this again, but will not fry the basil, but will add at the end! Also felt like there was way too much broth.

No one in my family liked this. I can't even think of a way to jazz it up. I followed the recipe exactly and it was not good. Sorry Amanda

Great dish, the whole family enjoyed it. I thought it was a little sour for my taste, though, so if I did it again, I think I'd put a little less wine and vinegar, and perhaps some onions for some sweetness.

DELICIOUS!! Restaurant quality dish! and I couldn't believe how incredibly easy!! The whole family LOVED this!! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts (we prefer dark meat)and followed the recipe exact. The chicken was super tender and full of flavor! As others said, the only problem is this doesn't call for enough rice. Double the rice to 2 cups, serve with some fresh steamed broccoli and you've got yourself an incredible meal!! This is a must try!! Thanks for the wonderful recipe Amanda!! :)

I am always looking for something new and different to try out on my family! I have kids from age 2 to 14, so it can't be too fancy, or they'll complain! The consensus was "Make that again!" It went over very well. As another reviewer commented, the recipe needs more rice, but otherwise...a great recipe! VERY flavorful!

This was very good. I had a lot of fresh grape tomatoes from my garden that I used and it was excellent. I used boneless skinless chicken breast instead of chicken halves and it was super tender. I will definately make again and I am anxious to serve for company.

This recipe was excellent. The fried Basil and balsamic vinegar gave the chicken a wonderful, unique flavor. I replaced some of the rice water with the extra chicken broth from the can and also added the extra Basil oil from the pan to keep it from sticking and give it a little extra flavor. I would suggest using more rice, as one cup didn’t make enough for everyone. I excluded the tomatoes because I didn’t have any on hand and didn’t miss them at all. The fried Basil made for a grand presentation. Rave reviews from everyone. Thanks for sharing your recipe Amanda. I’ll definitely be making this one again!
