          Love this recipe. And.. my husband who developed a tomato allergy late in life has found his tomato sauce substitute. He does pasta with this and I do zoodles. A new go to.

            This was delicious. My entire family love it and I’m the only one in Keto. My son asked me to make it again.

              This was absolutely delicious! I used tomato pesto, couldn’t find red pepper pesto and swapped creme fraiche for lactose free thickened cream (lactose intolerant). The whole family loved it.

              Do you use bone in thigh or boneless?

              Delicious! Delicate flavor. Easy to make and the whole family loved it. Used heavy whipping cream instead of creamer fraiche, which I didn’t have. And used chicken legs instead of thighs—all I had.
