I was anxious to try this last night for supper. Even went out to get some of the ingred. that I didn't have at home. I have to say I agree with some of the other reviews that the skin on makes the sauce to greasy. Yes I did drain the chicken after browning and prior to adding the veggies and I also trimmed the excess fat but left the skin on. The skin gets soft and slimy after the the braising so it is not worth leaving it on. I also found the sauce to lack flavor even though I made Emeril's spice mix from scratch, and added a 1/4th cup of merlot. The fattiness of the chicken over powered the dish with the skin left on. I served it over noodles the sauce is thin and I did try letting it cook without the cover on to thicken it up at the end but it was rather wet for noodle perhaps the rice would absorb more of the sauce. Anyway I thought it was just ok and will not make again at least not with skin on.

I followed the recipe almost to the letter, except I drained the fat from the pan before adding the mushrooms. The recipe does not state it, but I think anyone with cooking savy would know to drain the fat. I'm surprised at those who think the skin should be removed before or after cooking. It has so much flavor and if you aren't eating it all of the time, it's a real treat.
I served the chicken and sauce over short grain rice. Short grain in my opinion is a little sticky and soaks up that great sauce. I will defintely make this dish again.

I just made this dish and let me tell you, it was one of the simplest recipes I have done. The texture of the chicken was phenominal and the taste was out of this world. Not too strong or weak. The essence gave it a nice tingle on the tongue while the flavors of the other ingredients mingled just right on the taste buds. I recommend this dish to anyone who enjoys chicken.

I just came on this site 2 days ago(4/13 just to see what "The Essence Of Emeril" was going to cook on his show this coming Friday(4/17, and when i saw what he was going to cook, plus, the Reviews that i've read, i told myself, i'm going to do this. And i don't usually cook anything from the Foodnetwork unless i tape the show, because most of the time, their shows are sometimes different than the printed recipe But, today (4/15, i cooked this dish, and it was Sooo Good. The only bad thing that i had to do was to "Clean" and "Removed" some of the Fat from the Chicken Thighs. I left the skin on them while cooking only because the skin gives the chicken "Flavor", but, i removed the skin before eating it. I used Fettuccini as my pasta, next time i will try Egg Noodles. This dish is a keeper, and when Friday do get here, i will tape his show.

This is SO good. Whole fam enjoyed it. So easy and simple but has amazing flavor. Great over rice or noodles. The only thing I changed was that i used boneless skinless chicken thighs because it's what i had. Worked GREAT...wouldn't try it with breasts though. The thighs are SOOOOO tender they fall apart! This will be a regular in my house!

Not bad, next time I will be sure to leave out the rosemary. Not a fan of rosemary.

Except for leaving out cayenne(which I hated to do,but still gave it a pinch of pepper flakes and substituting bay leaves for the rosemary(didn't have any fresh to put in,and I've ruined a cream sauce in the past using the dried kind I followed the recipe pretty close. My family loved it. looks like I might make this next week,except I'll probably use drumsticks instead,since the wife doesn't like thighs that much. My only regret is starting a little too late making this,so i had to cut the simmering time in half,so I didn't get a chance to let the meat get really tender. Will know better next time.

Made this last night with boneless skinless thighs & egg noodles. I also put in some Franks Red Hot like one reviewer said. Yummmmmm!! At the end of the meal, I realized I forgot to put in the tomato paste! Next time I will make it with the tom paste but I can't imagine it better that it already is!

What a great dish! Perfect for a cold night. Simple, easy and great flavor. I was concerned about too much fat and salt after reading some of the reviews, but just trimming the thighs of extra skin took care of that. My husband just loved it and I did, too. Once again, Emeril comes through!
