Absolutely love this recipe!!
I’ve made it at least 5 times and never get sick of it! Super easy and tasty and I love that I have leftovers for lunch!
This recipe is amazing so easy yet doesn’t taste plain at all I cooked with water instead of wine and it was lovely
Just made this and it was delicious! The only extra thing I added was a piece of cinnamon stick. This is going to be a definite favourite!
Has anyone doubled the recipe? Any suggestions when doing so?
