Chicken thighs with cheese and tomatoes
Description
Use chicken thighs: they're small, cook quickly, and stay juicy, unlike chicken breast. Choose a cheese with a soft, creamy flavor to create a contrast between the flavorful sauce and the mild cheese taste. Serve the meat immediately after cooking so the cheese doesn't harden. Garnish the dish with your favorite herbs.
