Notes:
I have used balsamic vinegar in place of red wine vinegar, still with terrific flavor. Also used grape tomatoes instead of dicing whole tomatoes and have substituted fresh spinach for fresh basil. The chicken is delicious whether you choose to serve it with pasta or some other side. Make it dairy-free by eliminating the mozzarella.
