ITALIAN CHICKEN WITH NEW ORLEANS SPAGHETTI BORDELAISE
This is one of Emeril Lagasse's recipes with a couple of my own variations. It has become one of DH's favorite meals. You may want to reduce the amount of butter or only add half the butter at first and then you can add the remaining if need be. Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. It is very easy to make and not very time consuming as you can cook your spaghetti while the chicken is baking in the oven. You can even substitute breasts if you prefer white meat but the thighs come out so tender and juicy.
