Just tried this recipe for a last minute Easter dinner thinking it couldn't possibly taste like osso bucco, but it did! And it was delicious, my whole family loved it! Will definitely make again!

This is one of my favorite dishes, it's tasty and good for you. I used thyme because I didn't have bay leaf and I thought it was great. I prefer it with thighs but substituted marinated boneless skinless breasts last time and it was still pretty darn good.

I am making this for the 2nd time. I have this WW cookbook too. I am halving the recipe tonight. I used both garlic and shallots and all the suggested ingredients including lemon zest & parsley (which I don't always have on hand). I cooked a bit longer too cuz these thighs are thick. Gotta love a chick w/ meaty thighs! Took a picture on the stove top while it's simmering! I'll be serving with Recipe#175034, a green salad and some Chardonnay. After serving this t the family, we all felt something was lacking. I have made many WW entrees and sadly, the stuff that makes it taste good is missing. Just nothing special, just ok.
