This dish was just ok. The taste was pretty good but it was really heavy. I would say that you should have it on a very cold day and only if you need something to warm you up and put you to sleep. Other than that, I would not really care to have it. Worth the try though.

This is a very substantial and satisfying dish for a winter dinner. It reminded me of how my Italian mother cooked. Not too spicy, but with deeper richer flavors. The breast was super moist, but the thighs were unfortunately underdone. I'd recommend lowering the heat and sauteeing them longer, or cooking an extra 10 minutes at the end.

This recipe is a classic and a fav for our family. We make it again and again and it is the most requested when the kids are coming over to eat. So easy and quick and ingredients you always have on hand. We make it with chicken thighs for lots of great flavor but also mix in some breasts too. Fresh rosemary is best but I use dried when the garden is not in bloom.

It was filling, but I can't help but think I missed something. It was just a bland dish. I read the reviews and cooked accordingly. I was hoping for more flavor.

Watching Mario make this on TV, I thought, "Hmm.. chicken, potatoes, rosemary- this has all the elements to become a great favorite in my house." And so it did. I usually just make this with chicken thighs, as they're readily available and cheap. This dish is filling, rich, and very satisfying on a cool night.

Used Yukon Gold potatoes since that's what I had on hand. I gave the chicken plenty of time to brown, just like Mario says. I also allowed the Tomato Paste to cook longer than the recipe indicated.
