I was quite dissapointed! The almond coating did tend to burn and I did the chicken in two batches to avoid the scorched taste. But the BIGGEST problem is the almond paste, which has a sweet taste. It totally ruined the whole dish. It should definitely be omitted. The onions, mushrooms, chicken and cream were great, but I will never make this again with the almond paste. Also, it might taste just as good to dredge the chicken in flour, and just add some toasted almonds to the dish before baking.

Wow! I have never rated a recipe before, but I randomly came across this one and thought the ingredients sounded good. While it was cooking, my husband turned up his nose, and questioned where I got the idea from. When I served it, he coldn't stop raving, and not a drop was left. It is luscious, delectable and definitely one our new comfort foods! Don't hesitate, make it today. I would have given it six stars if it had been an option! (PS I used the spinach instead of the escarole, and we served it with a generous splash of lemon juice on each bowl)
