That I read the review before watching the show, because the technique described does not reflect the technique he used. Among other things he used a red wine and imediately put the chicken back in the pan along with ALL the liquid from reconstituting the mushrooms. Done this way there is no problem getting the chincken done.

The best thing about this recipe is that it's both flavorful and flexible. The garlic, onion and wine create a wonderful foundation for the peppers. I replaced the full breasts with boneless breast strips and browned them all around. It's not a quick dish, but it's worth the wait!

The flavors of this recipe were excellent. As with any recipe, you need to use common sense. My family loved this dish

Definitely needs more cook time.After cooking it in the pan according to the recipe I put it in the oven covered for ten minutes and uncovered for another ten minutes. Overall I thought it was bland.




Incorrect Cooking Times

This recipe simply does not allow enough cooking time. Chicken must be cooked longer either at the beginning (when searing), or at the end. Following the recipe, my chicken was still mostly raw after the final seven minutes of cooking (and I was using only chicken thighs... a chicken breast wouldn't be anywhere near done in the allotted time). However, the longer cooking time let all the juices and vegetables caramelize, so the sauce came out very nice.




Great Chicken Dish

This was a wonderful recipe, sort of an Italian "coq au vin". As in the TV program, I used red wine (sangiovese) instead of white. The swiss chard tart went very well with this dish, which will definitely go into our recipe file of great chicken dishes.
