This dish is absolutely AMAZING! Just loved the grilled veggie topping for this (I used balsamic vinegar). Loved all that fresh basil; I added some dried basil to the oil that I tossed the chicken in also just because we love it. Easy enough for anytime but impressive enough for company - this one's a keeper - thanks for sharing your recipe!
