Tomato-Basil Chicken Breasts image

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.
