Experience

This is another dish that brings me back home to my mother's cooking.  She used to make chicken thighs like this all the time!  It's super easy to make and allows you plenty of do nothing time while it bakes.  I served it with salad and sourdough bread toasted with extra virgin olive oil.  Great together!  Summer also loved the chicken so it's kid friendly! 

Thank you for sharing

Experience

I usually make this baked dish whenever I have some ingredients laying around in the pantry that I haven't used in a while.  If you don't like sardines don't use it!  Treat it like a pizza!  Put whatever topping dry or wet that you wish on it.  I have made this with sundried tomatoes, mushrooms,  chicken, olives, etc...  I usually like to make a wet sauce on the stove top before hand. I still want to try it with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and kalamata olives! Enjoy making it and I'm sure your family will love it!  By the way, my mom has been making this ever since I can remember!  She always used sardines so it's kinda like a home feeling when I make it.
