Great overall recipe! I sauteed potatoes, garlic and onions in separate pan for like 15 minutes with a few favorite spices. Potatoes cooked firm but still not done. Same time I cooked the chicken thighs until they reached about 135 degrees in covered pan flipping along the way. Removed the the chicken and added 2 cups of chicken broth, white wine, tomatoes and sauteed. After about 6 minutes added in potatoes and chicken and somewhere for about 15 minutes. I made a side of white rice. It came out AMAZING!

This was really good ! I did cook the thighs about 15 min longer before I added everything and it was perfect

Smells delicious but haven’t been able to eat it yet because the chicken thighs take WAY longer to cook than a 10 minute sear and additional 15 minutes. We’ve added 30 minutes already. Any suggestions for getting it to cook faster without burning?

Great flavor, had to cook way longer than recipe stated. Even had to finish it in microwave.

Lovely recipe. I had to make it with kale, not spinach and without tomatoes because of my husband’s renal diet, but it was delicious, even reheated the next day.

Could you use chicken breasts in this recipe? It looks absolutely delicious.

Made this with onions, a 1.5 lb bag of creamer potatoes & freshly grated parm. The sauce thickens up nicely when the heat is turned off. It was amazingly good! Will definitely make again. Very easy to prepare. Clean up in my cast iron pot was easy too. Tried to post a pic, but my file was too large.

Just made Regis and my husband and I loved it! I added onions and used rotes instead of diced tomatoes. Very minor changes! It was wonderful! My husband isn’t a big fan of chicken so I’m always looking for good recipes for chicken. Thank you!

My husband loved this recipe. I had to cook it about 10 mins longer then stated in order for potatoes and chicken to be done completely. I will make it again. Seasoning was perfect. Great recipe

The flavor was good. It is a one pot dish but there are many steps ...... lots of items to wash. I cooked the potatoes half way before to make sure they were soft and I had to cook the chicken much longer in the sauce. My sauce also curdled.

This was good but it took a long time to cook the chicken thighs. I had to add more broth due to the long cooking time.

Wow! That was amazing! I added more pots, toms, spinach and garlic. Needed to sauté thighs longer as they weren’t cooked through even with the extra 15 in sauce. Definitely a respecter!!

Excellent flavor but sauce curdled at the end. Any suggestions?
