This is one of my favorite chicken basil italiano recipes. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is so flavorful. I love serving it over pasta or mashed potatoes.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste.

Not bad, but not the best chicken basil italiano I've had. The sauce was a little bland for my taste.
