My wonderful husband made this for us, yay! Since you had noted it makes a lot of extra sauce, I got six chicken thighs rather than five and the sauce ratio turned out well for us (extra sauce is a good thing.)
Ways in which I fail at shopping: forgot to get parsley, and forgot to check that we had marsala. So we ended up subbing in some green onions and sweet sherry. Not ideal, but workable! We also cut some of the fat out (mostly by reducing the butter in the sauce; we did use all of the pancetta.) It was still delicious. I intend to make it again with actual parsley and marsala.
I think this would be very good with crusty roasted potatoes as a substitute for bread, but we just served it over rice, which also works well at sopping up all of the delicious sauce.
