    Incredible!
    Marinade step is not necessary. I skipped that part, cubed the chicken and chopped the veggies. I sauted the onion and garlic, added chicken, then veggies. It turned out great! Fresh basil is wonderful, but dried basil works nicely. We have this for dinner several times a month. - 10/1/11
