I am not going to lie when I tell you this is one of my absolute faves. It can feed literally an army, just add more sauce, more chicken, or double it, add rice, naan and you are the queen of the kitchen! SO delicious. If you haven't already purchased Dinner Spinner the cookbook or Spin A Dinner the app, then this is just a sneak preview for you to think about. I think what I love the most about this recipe on a cold day is that it warms up the whole house with an amazing fragrant yummy scent that tells the entire neighborhood you are having the best dinner on the street. What are you waiting for?? Happy Mixing.
