Why I Love This Recipe
Suggested serving is over rice or Orzo. This has a lot of creamy red sauce, and tastes great when paired with some mashed potatoes!
I found this recipe through a monthly e-mail on eatingwell.com I had to make a few adjustments, since I never have bone-in chicken on hand, and I cook often for two. So, this is what I came up with. This recipe has yet to have anyone resisting seconds! A favorite for all indeed!
