"I love Ina's recipes and have almost always had much success with following the recipe exactly as is. Most other recipes (I think) go very light on seasoning, but hers tend to hit pretty close to my liking. And my family members, as well.
For this recipe, I didn't have any white wine on hand and didn't feel like going to the store, so I used cham"

"Agree with ChrityP that the closer you follow this recipe the better. I did everything as the recipe called for but added one extra garlic clove and had no basil so i added some dried dill to the sauce. Also, I pulled some fresh thyme out of the garden and chopped it to put on the chicken before I grilled it. Which was delicious. One thing that is"

"Lacking....something. I added 3 more garlic cloves (what's a pesto without lots of garlic?), but stuck to the recipe, otherwise. I didn't use the jalapeno seeds because some of my family members are a bit sensitive, but it definitely needed more of a kick. Perhaps a squeeze of lemon would add some brightness. I'll tweak it a bit more next time. "

"This sauce is perfection! The white wine with the san marzano tomatoes seems almost too simple, but don't be tempted to add anything extra. The sauce is a perfect backdrop for the sage and fontina in the chicken. My boyfriend was leary about the sage, he's pretty picky. Loved it! Asked me to make it for him for his birthday! :)
