This was delicious! Even my picky eaters ate it! I didn't have any balsamic vinegar so I used Balsamic Glaze instead so it turned out darker then the picture shown. My kids were fighting over the left over sauce to use on their rice (and they don't eat rice.) I will definitely be making this again!

It was ok. Everyone thought it was attractive and ate it, but it was a little bland. I think having the white wine and the vinegar was a little much. I'd cut out the vinegar all together (and I love balsamic vinegar!). Either way, I should have taste tested it and added some sugar to get rid of some the vinegar taste! I think maybe it would have been better if I mixed a couple tablespoons of butter and a cup of feta in with the rice? Maybe add lemon juice to the sauce, cut out the thyme, and use oregano instead? Or perhaps stuff the chicken with tomato basil goat cheese? I'm sure I would have enjoyed this recipe much more if I didn't already have one so similar that was a lot tastier.

Definitely would NOT fry the basil next time. It makes it super dry, oily, and pretty flavorless. Other than that I liked the recipe.

For some reason, I didn't care for this recipe. I found the chicken to be bland. I won't make this again.

My family & I were not very impressed with this recipe. I am so bummed. I couldn't wait to taste it because of all of the good reviews & the ingredients are all some of my favorites. It was very bland, I wish I had thought to add some garlic to the sauce like some other reviews suggested. The fried basil tasted very oily to me so it was not my favorite. I probably won't be making this again, sadly.

This was an easy and excellent dish to make. The basil only needs to fry for a minute or two--don't leave it in longer or it will be gross. At the very end, I removed the chicken and tomatoes and added a chickenbroth/cornstarch mixture to the sauce to thicken it slightly. I also am not a huge thyme fan, so I will probably substitute with basil or oregan next time I make it. And I will definitely make it again.

De-lish. I used thighs instead of breasts - we're a dark-meat family. The recipe didn't specify, so I cooked them skin-on, which I believe added flavor. And I used a good chardonnay (never "cooking wine"), and my wife gladly helped me finish the bottle. Best the first time - the leftovers were good, but the nice contrast the tomatoes gave was muted by sitting in the fridge and then reheating.

I'm not sure if I fried the basil for too long, but it didn't really taste like much... kind of like dried seaweed, the kind you get on the outside of your sushi. Other than that, I absolutely loved the flavor of the wine/broth sauce on the chicken and mixed in with the rice. I added about 4 cloves of diced garlic to the sauce to simmer down with it for extra flavor. This is one of my husband's very favorite dishes.

This is absolutely delicious!! My best friend & I made it last night. The flavors are perfect together. The only change we made was to thicken the sauce with a tablespoon of cornstarch and we served it over Jasmine rice, man was it devine!!

What a wonderful recipe and so easy! I'm not sure that I would change anything. It all worked out superbly. The only thing different that I did was to uncover the pan as I was reducing the liquid. After a short while, I did put a cover on the pan and continued with the original instructions. I served this with butter/garlic fresh mushrooms. Will definitely keep and do this recipe over and over again. Loved it!

This recipe is great. So easy to prepare. I used the frozen chicken breast that come in a bag - so quick to thaw. The white wine gave it a great taste. I highly recommend this.

Great recipe! Nice flavour and the chicken was very tender. I had a bit of a problem getting the sauce to reduce, so I ended up adding a bit of cornstarch to thicken it. Thanks to the poster!

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...
