"This is one of my favorite pasta dishes. I don't make pasta very often, but whe, I do, I load it up with veggies to cut down on the guilt. I never use frozen veggies for this dish because I find they get mushy during the cooking process. It seems like a lot of ingredients, but it really is quite easy."

This review is for the sauce only. I needed to use up some leftover grilled shrimp, so I skipped the chicken and just tossed the shrimp into the sauce until warm. The entire family devoured this.

This was delicious! I had already marinated my chicken in a lemony marinade (for chicken fajitas) but decided to try this one instead. What a winner! I wouldn't change a thing.

We really enjoyed this dish. Quick, easy and tasty. For our preference I increased the chicken (1 1/4 lb) & broccoli (5-6 oz. As a result I increased the wine & broth abit. I didn't have fresh basil so I used 1-2 tsp dried. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

My name is Amy and I live in CT. I love to cook and try new recipes. My kitchen is my favorite room in my house and where I spend most of my time! Both my parents were always cooking, mom baked and dad did everything except baking. Some of my recipes come from my grandmother, Nell, but have been updated. The rest fly out of my head in the middle of the night...or are things I have seen in magazines, cookbooks and on TV twisted around to my liking. I find it hard to follow a recipe, but I am trying to do that without changing them all the time.
