Chicken + Forty Cloves of Garlic + Potatoes

This dish, from William-Sonoma's Chicken Night cookbook by Kate McMillan, jumped off the page immediately to me, and I was so excited to make it. Needless to say, it was the 40 cloves of garlic that pulled me into trying out the recipe. Also, the steps to make this French bistro dish seemed fun. While that rang true, the dish came out bland and it wasn't quite a hit at the dinner table.
