The chicken that might put a ring on it

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 19:36:03 GMT

But what if a piece of chicken, drenched in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce, was the best shortcut to the altar?In 2016, when Lindsay Funston was an editor at Delish, she created a recipe video for a Tuscan-style chicken dish that attracted millions of views.

Some cooks make it with jerk-style spices; some serve the creamy dish with pasta.But others confuse this modern take on a marriage-worthy dish with “Engagement Chicken,” an earlier recipe from Glamour magazine.That one, for a whole roasted chicken with lemon and herbs, was published by the magazine in 2004. But since the mid-1980s, Kim Bonnell, a former fashion editor...
