How did it turn out?
Lovely! A simple and easy to make meal with staple ingredients I have in my cupboard / fridge. I added a few mushrooms that needed to be used up. I'd probably thicken the sauce next time with a little cornflour starch. Enjoyed with trofie pasta.
The recipe tasted as good as it sounds. I used a regular pan because I do not have a large cast iron (yet!). Also, I used chicken thighs bone-in, which the cooking time at the end went from 10 minutes to about 25-30 minutes. Still, they were tender and juicy on the inside, and tasty on the outside. The sun dried tomato Parmesan cream sauce was divine. Reminded me of a Tuscan meal. Mother approved.
