First of all, it took me about one hour to finish this meal, not half an hour as stated. Next, chicken should be fried/cooked more than 5 minutes. I ended up with not so well cooked meat. Next, you should add more salt than stated in the recipe. Beside all of this, a nice recipe. A man.

Love this recipe! I added some courgette which was lovely. A nice alternative to my usual creamy mushroom and white wine chicken pasta sauce! Definitely recommend, always a hit with my boyfriend :-)

This is such a simple weekday recipe to put together with most of these ingredients I always have on hand. We really enjoyed the light taste, without a heavy sauce. I did use reduced amounts of dry herbs, but fresh is always better. We look forward to having this again, ieve. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
