Cider Chicken in a Creamy Mushroom Sauce
This cider chicken in a creamy sauce was totally scrummy. I was a little sceptical about adding the anchovies as hubby doesn't like them - but he didn't even know they were in there! This is going on the make again pile.

ReplyDeleteLooks delicious but have not managed to make myself like cider, yet!
ReplyDeleteI've had something very similar to this, minus the cider and anchovies. Looks really delish but I would also omit the achovies!
