TOMATO-BASIL CHICKEN BREASTS
In Sussex, Wisconsin, Alice Hofmann counts this fast, easy and flavorful entree among her favorites. "I like serving it with asparagus spears or broccoli florets," she notes. "Leftover ready-to-serve soup is next day's lunch!" TIP: For a tasty alternative, Alice sometimes substitutes Italian-style veal steaks (chopped and formed breaded veal) for the chicken.

BASIL CHICKEN SPIRALS WITH MANGO SALSA
I love this recipe! It is one of my favorites to wow a crowd. Most of its wow factor comes from all the fresh ingredients. I always pick up fresh herbs, garlic, cucumbers, and hot peppers-as well as honey and onions when I can- at my local farmers market. All those ingredients give this dish a punch of flavor. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota
