Used red onion and added garlic to first step. Homemade chicken broth, and used boneless skinless chicken thighs (8, but small). Sautéed mushrooms in bacon fat and mixed in at the very end with fresh basil as well as more walnuts. Simple, tasty, could probably handle some balkan cheese, more herbs.
This recipe is easy, filling, and delicious. I made it as recommended, except I used chicken breast as I had no thighs on hand. It turned out well though I adjusted cooking time. Today I’m making it with thighs, can’t wait to see how it turns out. I think it will be delicious served with a dollop of plain strained yogurt.
