Hi Rick, Terry whew from Keremeos, BC, Canada, the fruit stand capital of Canada, great wine country too! Just a little idea for your dried tomatoes. After they are dried, pulse in a small chopper to make tomato powder. You can have tomato paste any time you need by adding just a little water to rehydrate. You can make a little or a lot and don’t have to contend with any canned leftovers (however Martha Stewart recommends freezing, I believe). The tomato powder is fabulous in soups, stews, dips and more.
Cheers and thank you for your videos, just love what you cook!! ❤❤

[@BackyardChef]

Great tip! I have jars full of tomatoes in olive oil and herbs. I can see jars of powder now too. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@IamJaneS]

If you make recipes where you use peeled tomatoes, you can also dry out just the tomato skins and use as powder too. Makes a very impressive garnish on pasta dishes!

Rik. This dish wasn't a "Home Run" (pardon the American vernacular). It was a "GRAND SLAM". I just made it for dinner and it was scrape the pan FANTASTIC! I did vary your recipe just a tad. I added a little cumin and chili powder to the chicken before I dredged it in the flour, and very liitle curry powder and allspice to the cream sauce 1 minute before serving. I served it over very fine cous cous. You're so right about seasoning the chicken and not the flour. It makes all the difference in the world. Keep em comin Rik! You're the MAN!

[@BackyardChef]

Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@lenagreen4031]

Hi Ric, i have been surfing all the channels that i used to follow before i found yours, and the amazing thing is they have all upped their game, some indian channels, which i wont mention, has adopted your trademark saying of " Look At That! " Which brings a smile to my face as its not with your Yorkshire accent. So you obviously are making them less complacent. Fantastic! X
