Please tell me the brand of sun-dried tomatoes you bought in Rome.
J.R.
I used the brand, Bella Sun Luci. And I used the whole sun dried tomatoes, not the julienne.
Should the skillet be covered in the oven?
Margaret,
NO you don’t have to cover the skillet.
I don’t understand. The ingredients called for frozen spinach, but the directions including having the spinach wilt–which can happen, i thought, only with fresh spinach. So whassup? I’m confuzled. thanks
Just cook the spinach until heated, sorry not until wilted.
Can chicken breasts be substituted for the thighs?
Chandra,
Yes!
