I think this is a better way to make good broth - the addition of Red Wine and cut up pieces beats a boiling a whole chicken for flavor.

this is an great recipe, and similar combo can be found in many cuisines. Some of the reviews did mention the fact the cooking time is bit long and consuming. I go ahead and use my pressure cooker, and the lowest pressure setting for 40 minute, and it came out just as well. Just thought it would be an easy tip.

I made this a few weekends ago. My family loved it but not sure I would make this again. It was a lot of work or maybe time would be a better description. The extra flavor in the stock did make a big difference and the color was richer. Many of Michael's recipes are very full of flavor. Please note, this is a more homey simple tasting dish that everyone will like but was more simple in taste than I would have expected. Noted-- my kids did eat it and loved it and since they are big non-veggie eaters, please note that the final product does not "show" any veggies which means they did welcome it and finshed it off. This may be a plus for some parents.

After seeing the show, I knew I HAD to make this -- I'm a sucker for anything with Cappellini :-

After browning the chicken and veggies, I put it all into my 6 quart crockpot, and, per my crockpot instructions, added half the amount of water called for in the recipe. I actually think I used about 5 cups of water instead of 8.
I cooked it on low for about 7 hours, and it came out AWESOME. The only problem, which is minor, is that the chicken was so tender it completely fell off the bones. I let it cool, then picked out all the meat. One step I definitely recommend is, after straining thru the cheese cloth, use a defatting measuring cup to defat the broth, which there was quite a lot of.
I also kept some the carrots, they were awesome tasting, and I couldn't throw them away. I think next time I'd also skip the parsley -- it never seems to add anything for me.
My 9-year old son had step throat and a fever this week, and it's all he would eat. I think it had some medicinal qualities, because he said every time he ate it, he felt better. :-

The leftovers were great, and I had plenty of the broth to use in a few different recipes during the week. I just kept the pasta and chicken in one container, and the broth in another.
