I love to read recipes for inspiration and ideas. I have to cook gluten free so I am no stranger to substitution and combining the best ideas of two or three recipes. Although gluten is no problem here (I use brown rice pasta, I did not make Michael's sauce. To save time, on top of the chicken I used half a jar of Trader Joe's (if the FN allows the use of trade names Red Pepper Spread. Near the end of cooking I stirred in a little water to achieve the desired consistency for saucing pasta. It is time consuming to stuff and brown the chicken on all sides but the results are worth it. The cooking time gives plenty of time to do a side veggie or salad and cook the pasta. For others that think the tomato sauce is bland you might want to give a different sauce a try. After all, the chicken is the star!

I agree with the person who said the music is too loud. You can't hear what the chef is saying. It is totally unnecessary in this venue. People tune in to get a good recipe and to watch how it is created NOT to hear music. There are other stations for that.

My family loved the flavors, but it was somewhat salty. We'll do it again though!

Michele, this episode first aire 3 years ago. Prices change. And rating a recipe 1 star because of the music is childish. It's a really good recipe, but the liquid definitely needs to be reduced

I don't know where this man shops but for the amount of 4 thighs and 4 legs of chicken he used were $1.99 a pound here compared to the .49 a pound he quoted on the program even on sale they never go below .99 a pound.
The ingredients for the zucchini saltimboca, a small packet of 3ozs pancetta or proscuitto is $4.49. and the dessert without the Frangelico my wallet is shy more than $20. The two pints of ice cream were $10 alone!
I already had Frangelico in the house and I still couldn't buy all the ingredients for $10 a head.
Olives, hazelnuts, bittersweet chocolate are all high end items too.
He has either not shopped in a supermarket and only sees the wholesale cost for his show or he lives in the south where prices are much much lower than up here in the PNW!
The chicken was average, the zucchini was very good, the dessert was wonderful. The amount of ingredients was by far too expensive taking the romance out of my meal. Unless Michael was counting the cost for serving 4, yes it did cost $40. I guess they ate leftovers the next day?

Why is Food Network ruining these shows with music blaring over the chefs directions ?? If I wanted to hear music I would turn on my radio not a food program,too bad . When the music comes on I turn it off.

I used 12/2 half the water and one tablespoon red wine vinegar. Fabulous.
Next time I am going to add 1 tbsp. capersin the sauce.

I made this without the pasta and served it with Rachael Ray's roated asparagus tips. I was a little nervous that it would be bland (from the previous reviews so I made sure to add a bit more of the spices and herbs and substitued low sodium, low fat chicken broth for the water. It was amazing. I will make this again. My DH loved it as well. It was a little time consuming, so I will probably only make it for company or special occasions... unless I substitute the sauce with a local jarred variety to save some time.

this was great. i did half the thighs with a sundried tomato paste and half with the olives. i also had read the reviews about the bland sauce and used 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup balsamic to give it a bit more flavor, and deglazed the pan with wine instead of water when taking it out of the oven. really lovely, tasty recipe! Thanks!
