I love that the mushrooms and onions maintain their own flavor when they're cooked on their own, rather than braised with the chicken. However, I skipped the bacon boiling step, and my sauce was very salty. A little time with a chunk of potato in the sauce, some added water and a little roux, and everything turned out fine. Next time, I'll defer to Julia's instruction! :-) I made this a few weeks ago, and it was fantastic!

I made a few modifications, not as much salt, a pinch more pepper. I didnt make the herb bouquet, no cheesecloth around. So I just added the fresh herbs in the pot. I didnt have the small onions so I just chopped up a regular white/sweet one. Turned out absolutely fantastic! My family thought I was a genious. I just smiled. I made fried poatoes with fresh chives and sour cream and a beautiful romaine salad with a light dressing. Then I topped it off with that lemon cake recipe you gave us. My kitchen was such a mess, but it was SO WORTH IT! A little labor intensive, but I cant believe how good it turned out. I made a few modifications, not as much salt, a pinch more pepper.

I served it over buttered egg noodles, but I'm eager to try it over mashed potatoes. Thanks!!!! I made this last night (with a few modifications out of pure laziness), and it came out great!

In the meanwhile, simply ignore all instances. The recipe and the numbers and letters on either side of the "A"s are correct.

I don't consume pork or other red meats, but this looks so fabulous I'd love to try it out. This looks amazing, but is there a way to substitute something for the bacon and beef broth?

I made this yesterday for a family dinner and it was amazing. Very hearty, complex taste. I did boil the bacon beforehand, because Greek bacon is a tad salty. Turned out great. I am so glad I found out about Julia Child. She is completely unknown in Greece of course, but her recipes are flawless. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. RESPECT!
