Yummy with much less salt. All the chefs use wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much salt. I now use very little or no salt in my cooking and we enjoy the real taste of the food. Try more herbs and spices.
We are also cutting back substantially on butter. Sorry to the big fat butter queens.

Super simple- super delicious! This dish took longer than I thought - but the pay-off is well worth it!

Couldn't be happier. Didn't have pancetta, used bacon. Served with mashed potatoes. I did let it cook about an hour on low, then deboned the chicken and put it back it the sauce.
Wonderful!

I just finished making this for dinner tonight. I used a whole, cut up chicken minus the wings, and I removed the skin. I didn't have pancetta, so I used bacon instead. I didn't have whole almonds, so I toasted sliced almonds instead. About 1/2 of the almonds got way too dark, and I was afraid to use them. I went ahead and made the almond paste anyway, and added it to the sauce. It turned out great! I've sampled the sauce and a little peice of chicken. It was hard to stop myself. I plan on making mashed potatoes, and roasted brocolli to go with it. I wish I had fresh green beans to complete the recipe...maybe next time. This is a keeper!

While a lot of the ingredients are not available where we live, My daughter and I were able to make a fair copy of this recipe. This is the 1st time she was willing and even eager to eat mushrooms and she loved it.

Very good but also very time consuming. I love Anne Burrell's show and her recipes, she has such a passion for cooking. I always learn so much when I watch her show. That being said, I almost liked this better BEFORE I added the almond paste. It added a grainy texture that I really was not crazy about. However, the flavor in this dish is excellent. Will make again without the almond paste.

This was unbelievably good. I was scared of the almonds but they made the sauce so rich without a strong flavor... and pancetta makes everything better. The chicken was so tender. Perfect meal for a cool day. Careful with the salt.. I was lucky that the rice and chicken offset some of the saltiness of the sauce. I would probably use less salt next time.
