Hi everyone
I joined the forum yesterday and here I am sending my first recipe.
I had found this wonderful recipe in Italian Cookaround Forum and I made it a couple of times by modifying it a little. I must say that it is one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had. It is also quite light which is a great surplus.
I am not a native English speaker so... sorry for any possible language related mistakes

Optional last step: If you would like to thicken your sauce, after setting aside your chicken, add cornstarch in your sauce in the TM bowl and cook for another 3 minutes at 90°C on Speed 3.

farfallina - When I cooked Aromatic Chicken, I had some leftovers. (Since we are 2 we often have leftovers ) so I used them as pasta sauce for the next day. I blended it for 5-10 seconds on Speed 7-8. I added 1-2 tbsp philadelphia cheese. I added also some milk to make it more creamish. I cooked for 6-7 minutes on Speed 2. When I served the pasta with this sauce into the plates, I sprinkled with some grated parmesan.
