I made this for a Saturday supper for my husband and I. I didn't have any white wine so I used an extra cup of chicken broth, I also added a teaspoon of lemon zest when I added the first cup of broth. The extra zest seem to add a punch to the dish. After everything was in the pan and mixed I tasted it and it still needed "something". I have some Roasted Garlic Sea Salt and I added about 3/4tsp and mixed it in and it was perfect. Next time I will use the white wine and drop the extra lemon zest. BUT.....I'll make sure to add the Roasted Garlic Sea Salt. Thanks Starkist for a great extra easy dish.
