Do you ever have a plan for dinner that you can’t wait to try only to realize halfway through cooking that you don’t have the exact ingredients you needed? Yeah, that happens to me a lot. This chicken actually started out as Greek chicken until I dumped a ton of Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta, which has Italian spices in it, into my pan instead of the regular sun dried tomatoes….ooops!
Don’t worry, I tweaked a few other ingredients in order to “fix” this recipe. I was worried it wouldn’t be good but it turns out this was a happy disaster. The new dish was an Italian chicken with artichokes, mushrooms, and sun dried tomatoes. I topped it with mozzarella. It was delicious. My husband liked it so much he told me to make sure to keep this recipe!
My question is, have you ever turned a mistake into a delicious dinner?
