Disappointing, but mostly my fault ... I used "mild" chicken sausage, which ought to have been labeled "tasteless." Next time the real deal, and at least half Hot! And I got the wine and broth measurements backwards; it needed the brightening that more wine would have provided. One improvement of the recipe I think -- added 3 big minced cloves garlic with the onions and mushrooms. Per my Italian FIL, that's definitively essential.
This is a great dish for the family - It is easy to make and a crowd pleaser. I added sage to give it a bit more flair, but it is delicious without as well
In its barebones simplicity, I didn’t think it could have passed muster by the Times Cooking editors as a recipe. I discovered it while trying to figure out what to do with three pieces of left-over cold fried chicken. I had everything else. Only changed the sequence of events. Sautéed onion in olive oil, followed by Italian sausage then the deboned chicken manageably cut and sliced mushrooms. Be generous with the red pepper flakes. Hard to explain the complex results. Less is more.
Ok, am I the only one who didn't have an iron skillet big enough to hold all this food? I ended up pulling all the protein out after browning, which involved shifting the pieces around quite a bit. Then did the mushrooms, onions , and suggested garlic separately. Now putting it all back in with the added liquid. Yes? Let me know if I'm on the right track. Love that Capon man and his Supper of the Lamb
