It was okay. The chicken was a little dry, and I thought the vegetables could have used a bit more seasoning. The flavor profile was good overall, though.

Rachel Clark2

I found the chicken a bit dry and the vegetables were a little too soft for my liking. The marinade was good, but I think the baking time might need adjusting. Disappointing, but I might try again with some modifications.

Michael Thompson5

Excellent recipe! The lemon herb marinade is a winner, and the chicken was incredibly moist and tender. The vegetables were perfectly roasted. A definite family favorite!

Kevin Harris3

It was a good recipe, but I think it could use a little more salt. The olives added a nice briny flavor, but overall, it needed a bit more seasoning. The chicken was pretty good though.

Olivia Garcia3

It was alright. The flavor was good, but I felt the vegetables could have been roasted a bit longer to get a better char. The chicken was okay.
