Wow! and Mmm! was all my best friend and I could utter while enjoying this meal tonight. I first saw it in Last Holiday and have been wanting to try it for a few years now. Of course we watched the movie while eating it. Honestly though we couldn't take our eyes or concentration off our plates....The combination of such complementary flavors melding in your mouth as you take a bite from your fork of the succulent creole seasoned chicken with a bit of the delicious bread pudding and tangy greens is beyond description to be able to give this recipe the justice it deserves. Yes, it takes a long time to make but is TOTALLY worth it. It is not a recipe to be rushed. Next, time I make it (and believe me I will! I will defrost the chicken earlier and split the chicken the night before and marinate it in the essence seasoning so that will make cooking the meal a lot easier. While the recipe doesn't call for it to be marinated, I'm a true believer of it. I put the essence paste/marinage on the skin, under the skin, everywhere on that chicken. Also I would start the greens before the bread pudding because it needs a lot of time to prepare/cook but doesn't need to be watched carefully once the greens are in...so you can concentrate on the rest of the meal.

Awesome dish. The bread pudding is soooo good. The flavors go together very well. I used croutons and smoked sausage that I chopped. This dish fills you up (wayyy too much I will probably make a little less pudding so that I have room for my veggie side :

This recipe sounded great so I made it for a dinner party last weekend. It took hours and the bread pudding, which should have been the star of the show, went largely untouched. I'm at a loss to descibe why - the flavors of cream and eggs and all the hot spices just don't work together. I think I'll keep my bread puddings sweet from now on.

I happened to catch this particular show last Saturday Evening - My mouth watered through-out the epidode and into the documentary about how Queen Latifah's moving was shot employing the recipes - couldn't wait to buy ingredients on Sunday and attempted the recipe. Took a little longer than I expected but it was worth the 3 hours that it took from start to finish to prepare this meal. I was uncertain of the flavor of the chicken, as it seemed very elementary, however, my mouth is still watering over the flavor of the "poulet" - superb! The bread pudding was also a huge hit at my house. This is one that I have told all my friends about and will make very often:
