“I sautéed my chicken separately after first marinating it in lemon juice, EVOO, garlic, fresh oregano, chopped chiles, black pepper. Then all of it went into the hot skillet with butter. Cooked about 1.5 minutes. Set that aside. Made the sauce. Used sour cream” — a cook
“This is a beautifully rich sauce. I served it with fresh penne from a local Italian speciality store and it was an absolute crowd pleaser at a dinner party we hosted this week.A note, we made it a second time and substituted the chicken with chorizo we grilled” — a cook
