Notes
Nutrition based on ¼ teaspoon of sea salt. Values for Sundried Tomatoes seem to vary widely depending on source. I used Whole Foods 365 brand, so numbers are from that.
As always the calculations are just an estimate.
Give boneless chicken thighs 10-12 minutes rather than 8, to ensure they are tender.
