I tried this recipe using all thighs (my favorite part). For the most part, I really like it, but, I think the bacon was overpowering. I'd use half the bacon and remove it before serving next time. I also tried a second version without the bacon, and added about 3 or 4 ounces of tomato paste. Loved it! My friend said, "you mean you discovered chicken cacciatori!"<br/><br/>I said, "Yes...yes, I did."Reply
