I made this last night and omg, was it delicious! I new it was going to be good because every recipe I’ve tried so far has been amazing. I didn’t think that I would love it as much as I did. Both my husband and I said “mmmmmm” with every mouth full. Such a simple and quick dish, but so delicious with really beautiful and comforting flavours. The lemon and oregano are so yummy. Then that lovely creamy gravy. Thank you for another delicious recipe. This will definitely be on rotation in out home.
Oh my goodness Dimitra, this was fantastic! Serious comfort food with such little effort. The lemony, creamy sauce was so amazing I wanted to drink it. The lemon flavour was bang on. I had bone in chicken thighs so I used those and it was perfect. They were so tender. I honestly lost track of how many times I said, mmmmmmm. This will be on rotation forever. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes. Hubby wants to have friends over for dinner just so we can share this recipe with them.
I love to hear this!!! Thank you for writing in and letting me know. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!
