Beer- and Onion-Braised Chicken Carbonnade image

DH and I enjoyed this flavorful, easy to make recipe from the January 2009 Bon Appetit. Carbonnade is a Belgian beef stew flavored with beer, onions, and brown sugar. Bon Appetit substituted chicken thighs for this twist on an old favorite. Serve over egg noodles.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I made this dish exactly as the recipe said and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of beer, but this dish changed my mind. The beer added a subtle flavor to the sauce that was really nice. I'll definitely be making this again!

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was the perfect comfort food.
