Notes

  1. I used skinless chicken thighs for this recipe, you can use skin on as well.  Just remember more fat will be released into the sauce.
  2. For best results, use sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, NOT the dry ones that come in a bag.
  3. Can be reheated, but best served fresh.  If reheating the sauce will be reduced and you may need to add a little more stock.
