French Chicken Thighs in Cilantro Sauce image

This is Jacques Pepin's recipe. The resulting chicken is moist, soft, and flavorful. Use a large non-stick frying pan. If cilantro is too strong for your taste, substitute with parsley or sage. If we dont have cilantro, we prefer finely chopped sage or parsley for this recipe. In Europe, cilantro is coriander.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was curdled.

The chicken was tough and the sauce was too thin.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to the chicken and sauce, and it turned out much better.
