Italian Chicken With New Orleans Spaghetti Bordelaise

This is one of Emeril Lagasse's recipes with a couple of my own variations. It has become one of DH's favorite meals. You may want to reduce the amount of butter or only add half the butter at first and then you can add the remaining if need be. Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. It is very easy to make and not very time consuming as you can cook your spaghetti while the chicken is baking in the oven. You can even substitute breasts if you prefer white meat but the thighs come out so tender and juicy.

This recipie takes some work don't be to overwhelmed it's not that complicated. It was good, I will make it again but it didn't blow my family out of the water like I thought it was going to do. Again good but not incredible. I wanted more.

    Piquant!!! Absolutely delicious!!! It IS time consuming, to my way of thinking. I think it took about an hour to peel all the cloves of garlic! Maybe that could be done well ahead of the rest of the prep. I too only had frozen skinless, boneless thighs, and I'm sure that it would be twice as good with fresh, bone in thighs with skin. I roasted the chicken covered for 30 minutes, uncovered it, and cooked it for 15 minutes more. That worked just fine. I used only slightly more than half a stick of butter, and it was plenty. We could not identify the taste of the lemons, so we were fine with the lemon quarters. I only had dried parsley, but we were so happy with the results that I don't think I'd bother with cutting up fresh. My roasting pan is plenty big enough, but it is made of fairly thin aluminum. I think that next time I'll brown the chicken in a heavier skillet first, follow the rest of the steps, and transfer the deglazed mixture to the roasting pan. The chicken didn't brown very well in the thin pan. This is a very nice, different pasta combination and one that I'll surely make again. Thank you, Luby, for sharing such a great recipe.

    This was sooooo good....especially the pasta! What's not to love about lots of garlic, cheese, and butter? Yum! I had to use boneless skinless chicken breasts because that's all that DH will eat. I reduced the covered cooking time to 45 minutes. The breasts had a great flavor but were slightly dry. That was my fault for not knowing the correct cooking time for chicken breasts. Next time I am going to try cooking the chicken breasts via stove top only and substituting lemon zest for the lemons. Thanks Luby for sharing this recipe. It's worth a repeat performance!
