Directions
Braised Chicken Thighs With Button Mushrooms,This is a recipe from Emeril Lagasse from Food Network.,I only gave this recipe 4 stars because I thought it called for too much rosemary. I followed directions except for using boneless/skinless chicken thighs and just 1 Tbsp. rosemary (yes, I did use fresh rosemary) but even that was a bit much. I think it would have been better with maybe 1/2 – 3/4 Tbsp. depending on how fine you chop it. (I did chop my coarse.) I suggest you start with a small amount of rosemary, taste, then add more if you think it needs it. You will have plenty of time to add more after the sauce has boiled for a while. I will be making this again, but I will also add another 1 Tbsp. butter to the roux and 1 Tbsp. more flour as well. I felt the sauce was a bit thin. used homemade chicken stock, and that just put the sauce over the top for taste. I do like the taste of Emeril’s Essence. This recipe makes a lot, so you can use it for a long time. I sometimes substitute it for seasoned salt. (I’ve made that stuff before.),Hearty and flavorful. used boneless, skinless thighs in the cast iron pan so even without skin they got a nice texture. Used 2 fresh rosemary sprigs from the garden and the leaves softened nicely and broke apart. Served over orzo which is Greek pasta and topped with grated Parmesan cheese. The orzo I felt was a good complement. It held up nicely as a base and the braising juice coated it well. Great recipe we loved it!
