Cooked this tonight and it was really tasty. Thanks for sharing, Ben. I would recommend adding just a little cayenne pepper to spice it up. Not for the kids, though.

I cooked this going by the recipe, but I used chicken breasts instead of thighs. They were a little dry. Next time I will use thighs and maybe add a little more spice.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation

This was pretty good. Although, I made a lot of changes. My husband had the chicken with the poultry seasoning and the rosemary, but no lemon.

December 17, 2012Chicken is one of our favorites. My kid enjoy it a lot but is very picky on the taste. I will have to try and do this for variety.- November 16, 2009I also tried this dish and found it to be delicious. For a healthier touch, i substituted boneless skinless chicken breast instead of thighs, and I added a touch of basil and italian seasoning to give it that delicious italian zing. I also recommend adding finely diced italian sausage to liven the flavor.
- September 7, 2008Cooked this tonight and it was great...I substituted a little bit of garlic powder for the poultry seasoning and also used lemon pepper instead of plain pepper at the end...served over spinach-stuffed tortellini...everyone seemed to enjoy. Total time about 25 min. I would recommend as a good, easy option for both during the week and also for dinner parties. Thanks Ben. P.S. I bought a rosemary plant and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for keeping it alive and growing in the pot, as cultivating plants has never been my forte before...
