Looks flavorful & easy to prepare, but wondering in what universe you figure two chicken thighs would feed four people? Surely this should be corrected to four thighs?
Tried this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, after cooking the chicken I added more chicken broth and some more cream and put in cooked penne pasta and then put chicken back, wow what a meal, totally delicious and enjoyable.
Thank you
