Just made this dish for my family and I must say I did not hear one complaint. They all loved it. I will be making this dish on a regular basis.

Excellent!!! Really nice :0))
I added garlic at the start of the sauce and used egg instead of milk for coating the chicken but that's all.
I was secretly dipping the left over sauce with some garlic bread (naughty but nice)!! :0))

We thought this was really good. We made the tweaks as suggested. The next time we would add less peppers as we thought this made the sauce a bit too hot

Altered ingredient amounts.
Very good, but I made a few changes: I pounded out the chicken a bit for quick even cooking: I dipped the chicken in egg instead of milk; I added chopped garlic while the chicken was cooking and to the sauce; I used single instead of double cream; and I used more chicken stock and less cream to cut some of the fat. I stuck with the original recipe for the most part - it is really very good!

Something else.
This is really good. Unfortunately I made some changes to the recipe to suit our tastes (hence the 4 star rating). I pounded out the chicken breasts for even cooking and added extra fresh garlic. I added just a splash of dry white wine. Fabulous over some pasta. Will definitely make again. Thanks for the post.

Altered ingredient amounts.
Here are my modifications: I cut my chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, fried them in butter with 4 cloves of minced garlic. I also added broccoli and I substituted single for the double cream, used 2 tsp dried basil, doubled the sauce and added a little cornflour to thicken it. I served it over fettucine. Overall, it was good...my family liked it a lot, but personally, I thought it was more work than I like (frying the chicken, then setting it aside, grating the parmesean, etc.) I imagine it would be very good with fresh basil and maybe some fresh tomatoes (nice summer dish)
