One of the things my family loves to tease me about is that I make up some fantastic dish that everyone loves, but I forget how I did it. It's been such a habit of mine over the years that it's a running joke.
Which is why it's so amazing that ten years ago, I actually thought to write this one down! Ironically, it was while living in a little apartment in Florida on my own for a few months and I couldn't seem to adjust to cooking for one person.
One night I came home from work starving and found most of these ingredients in my fridge. That's how creamy chicken with sundried tomatoes recipe was born.
I grabbed a slip of paper and jotted down exactly what I used to prepare the recipe. However, I did not write down the instructions. Thankfully, it wasn't too hard to recreate. Bonus for you is that it's super easy to make and unless you cook your veggies separately, it's a one-pan meal!
This is perfect for low-carb dieters or those following a Ketogenic diet or even Trim Healthy Mama as an S-meal.
If all of that diet stuff means nothing to you, it might delight you to know that I serve this over pasta or rice for my children.
Pasture Raised Chicken
I prefer to use pasture-raised chicken from Farm Foods.
Food has come to be anonymous, mass-produced, and far from anything that our ancestors, well even our grandparents, grew up eating. We want to make buying food to be personal again, bring back the authentic original concept of nourishing flavorful meats. From the farm, just like it once was. Authentic by definition means just that – being genuine, of undisputed origin, accurate and reliable.
