Julia, made this last night and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. Instant add to my ‘easy weekday night dinners’ list!
I may have used too many vegetables, as the pan seemed a bit crowded, so I split the brussel sprouts onto their own pan; I was a bit worried they’d burn, being in for that long and without the chicken fat/juices to keep them moist, but it worked great, and also allowed me to shake the pan once halfway through to get them nice and evenly browned. Chicken came out with a delicious crispy skin.
5 stars!
