It was a decent meal. The chicken was flavorful, but the potatoes were a little undercooked. I might try pre-cooking the potatoes next time to ensure they're tender.

Ethan Wilson4

Great recipe for a weeknight. Easy to prepare and clean up is a breeze. I would recommend adding a little bit of olive oil to the potatoes before roasting to help them crisp up.

Isaac Anderson4

Simple, yet elegant. The lemon and herb combination is excellent. I added a little bit of garlic powder to the potatoes and they turned out great. Definitely making this again.

Alice Johnson5

Absolutely fantastic! The chicken was so juicy and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. The lemon and herb combination is a winner. Easy to make and tastes like a gourmet meal. Will definitely make this again!

Bob Williams4

Loved this recipe. The flavors are amazing. I used rosemary instead of thyme, and it turned out great. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more seasoning to the potatoes early on.
