The surprise is that anyone would eat this as written. This one has way too much going on.

If you use the squash and eggplant, leave out the canned soup and cheese. If you leave the soup and cheese, I don't think it should have the veg cooked with it (other than a variety of potatoes perhaps). And the chicken should definitely be browned before adding to the dish for better flavor.

Rice would be good in this one.

☀ Aunt Shanny Mar 12, 2008, 5:11pm EDT
Thank you, ladies :)
Risa G. Mar 12, 2008, 5:13pm EDT
Sounds good too. I usually omit canned soup anyway from recipes as it has way too much salt in it and I don't like the flavor. I make a white sauce and then flavor it with dried ingredients such as Porcini mushrooms, or seasonings.

Creative title! It rhymes.

Thanks for sharing your recipes... I admire what you're doing.
☀ Aunt Shanny Mar 12, 2008, 6:20pm EDT
That white sauce idea sounds great, Risa.

Good to see you around, Fran :)

Thanks, all!

sounds good

Sound good thanks for sharing.. When I was in cooking class in college, we deboned a chicken. cut all the meat off the chicken and stuffed the cavity with stuffing when we finished. When it was done we could slice the whole chicken in slices. Took a long time to get the meat off the chicken. Don'tt think I could do it now..

sounds good too me

I will be out of town tomorrow. I hope I get to eat at Olive Garden!

This one is so far ahead of my skills I wouldn't even know how to pick and choose what to add and what to leave out. Do you like it well enough to do it one way (cheese etc) and then the other way the next time? Maybe it would be easier to just start from scratch.
☀ Aunt Shanny Mar 13, 2008, 1:50pm EDT
Damn, that sounds great, Lar!

Lynn, I would either do it with the soup and cheese or the veggies and broth, maybe some wine. Not both.

Thank you for posting this to Gather Recipe Review!

Thanks for the recipe! (I LOVE Chicken Thighs!)
Karen G. Sep 7, 2008, 6:15pm EDT
I wouldnt be chopping all of those veggies, especially the eggplant.
LeeAnn D. Sep 27, 2008, 9:31am EDT
I have to agree. The veggies/ canned soup and cheese would make it too mushy. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the soup and veggies. I like to be able to taste each key ingredient. If anything....I would brown the veggies and serve them on the side....or even....slice and bake the veggies and sprinkle THEM with the cheese toward the end.

Some great feedback here!
Shelbia C. Oct 13, 2008, 2:09am EDT
I don't like sqash so I wouldn't put that in
H M. Nov 2, 2008, 4:36pm EST
Thanks for the recipe!

Chicken thighs are my favorite part of the bird and there aren't enough recipes for them! Thanks.

I thought surprise meant it wasn't really going to be chicken. I went to this Spanish Tapas restaurant and we all ordered a bunch of dishes to share and I tried something I thought was chicken only to then be told it was a rabbit :( lol
