I think the other reviewer didn't notice that the recipe says 3 TEAspoons dried basil, not 3 TABLEspoons... Just my 2 cents -
This was not difficult to make but the 3 tablespoons dried basil made it taste quite bitter. In the end, rather than ruining the chicken breasts, we tossed the sauce in the garbage. With the cost of mascarpone cheese this was a very expense lesson. I would suggest that if anyone is tempted to try this recipe, be very cautious with the dried basil.
