  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    Excellent dinner! I subbed thighs for breasts (I like dark meat), and made rice on the side, which I sprinkled with some of the fresh parsley from this recipe. It was a win!

    This looks delicious! I love the mushrooms. My family can always agree on chicken. We have a favorite chicken dish that is great for a smaill group, or can be made for a crowd. I made the Pancetta and Rosemary Chicken for my daughter's confirmation. It's amazing. You're going to love it.
