This is an absolutely delicious recipe, and one I make often! The only change I make is eliminating the cognac, and adding a cup of chicken broth while the already browned chicken cooks (covered for 30 minutes. Then, since we like a lot of gravy, after removing the chicken from the pot, I add a 1/2 stick of butter, and whisk in 1/4 cup of flour and 2 more cups of chicken broth. This makes a rich gravy (with the wine and garlic that's already in the pot. Recently I took the suggestion of another review and removed 1/2 the cooked garlic and pureed it, then whisked it back into the gravy! WOW! I always place the cooked chicken back into the gravy so I can serve it 5 minutes later, or an hour after it's done. Sitting in the gravy makes the chicken even more tender and flavorful. OMG! Everyone wants this at least once a week, and there are rarely any leftovers! Once again, thank you Ina. You are my favorite!!!

I LOVE THIS RECIPE! Pairs perfectly with Ina Garten's Couscous with Pine Nuts.

I love this dish and so does everyone who shares it with me. It's an easy, inexpensive, swank dinner for company. It's foolproof and fabulous. If you're lucky enough to have leftovers (rare but possible, the chicken makes a deluxe sandwich sliced thin on toasted baguette with a thin smear of butter, a slice of sweet onion and watercress. The leftover sauce is lovely substitute for hollandaise drizzled over a poached egg on toast.

Look no further for a DELICIOUS AND SATISFYING chicken entree. I watched Ina prepare this recipe on her show recently, and I began dreaming about making it. I followed the recipe to a T, and... Oh My Gosh! My husband and I were just about licking our plates. Soooo tasty... I am a novice cook, but boy did I feel like a pro after preparing this. Ina, you rock. Love you, love your show, love your food. (Tip: By a NIP of cognac rather than a large expensive bottle.

First time I made this was without the cognac (because I didn't have any and it was delicious. Then I bought some just to be true to this recipe and made it again. Honestly we liked it better the first time, without cognac. Is Hennessy the right choice? I think we'll save it for the after dinner drink but will definitely keep making the dish.

Definitely one of the best recipes from Ina! Don't be afraid of the 40 cloves of garlic. The first time I made it, I almost shorted the amount of garlic- so glad I didn't! This recipe is delicious!

Outstanding and easy! I used brandy instead of cognac but other than that, I followed the recipe. I paired this with Ina's Roasted Winter Vegetables but used fresh thyme (before roasting instead of parsley. My husband and I devoured it and we decided that it was definitely a recipe impressive enough for entertaining!

AMAZING!! My husband said it was the best meal I've ever made : To lighten it up a little I used less olive oil and butter and bought skinless chicken thighs... this also saved me from cutting up whole chickens (YUCK!. I didn't have cognac, so I used red wine instead... I realize they aren't the same thing, but I wasn't going to buy a bottle of something I don't drink just for a few tablespoons. Finally, I smashed the garlic into the gravy, which made it super creamy and pointless to add the heavy cream! It was absolutely delicious! Everyone was grabbing seconds! I can't wait to make it again :
