I seriously love Pinterest. I mean I just love it. I could easily spend hours searching through crafts I’ll never make, impressive recipes I’ll never try, and clothes I’ll never wear. Oh, if only my real life reflected the one I lead on Pinterest. Occasionally I give myself a good swift kick in the pants, and commit to actually creating one of these “pinned” items that I was so eager to tuck away for later. Because truthfully, sometimes these amazing gems are forgotten as soon as they are filed away. After finding a recipe for sun-dried tomato chicken, then following it to the blog who created it, I knew this would be a perfect weeknight meal. And seriously, it’s pretty freakin’ fabulous. Everyone, picky kids included, gobbled this up. It’s creamy and rich, with a slight tang from the sun-dried tomatoes. This is the kind of meal that anyone would be happy with at the end of a long day.
See, making your Pinterest dream life a reality isn’t so hard after all. Now, on to the other 872 things I have pinned…

I have many this recipe twice now. The flavor is good however I find there is not enough sauce for the amount of chicken that the recipe calls for, also I would use less sun dried tomatoes, they overwhelm the dish and make it unnecessarily expensive. Note if you mix in the flour into the tomato and onions and whisk for two minutes you will just burn the tomatoes, you should just mix in the flour making sure that it is coated with the fat and then mix in the chicken stock.
