I didn’t change anything in this recipe. I really liked this one. My kids are super picky, but we’re not short order cooks in this house. It was not one of their favorites but I will save it and make it again. I served it with a side of sweet corn off the cob.

I made this but I eliminated the kale. Used one breast and one thigh. I have made it again the same week. Only for myself. I love this.

My family loved this! Lemon bright (leave the peels on!) and tasty, simple and healthy and a great way to introduce a little kale into the lives of the adolescent set. I made this exactly as written except used a 9x13 glass baking dish for the baking part of things as my skillet was not quite big enough to hold all this goodness. Also....I suspect that it cooks a little more evenly that way.

Overall bland. The lemon flavor was barely noticeable. The potatoes had no flavor and because they sit in the chicken stock, they weren't crispy. Used spinach instead of kale and it was the only thing that tasted good.
