I just love how the lemon zest here lights up the whole dish. Excellent idea of using lemon juice + herbs instead of oil! I had some problems getting the potatoes cook completely - next time I'd probably put the oven to 400 F and maybe cover the dish towards the end if needed.

I made this for dinner using red skinned potatoes, yellow bell pepper and sweet white onion. We love garlic and I peeled several cloves and added to the veggies. Instead of leaving off the oil completely, I doubled the sauce but used about 1 tablespoon of oil. My chicken breasts were the boneless, skinless breasts and I covered the dish lightly with foil to promote cooking. The chicken was basted several times during cooking. The vegetables and chicken were done in approximately 35 to 40 minutes.

Outstanding meal! I halved this for two people and used about 6 cloves of garlic. I used regular potatoes, peeled and diced. Having read the other reviews I let the veggies (minus the mushies) cook for about 20 minutes before putting the chicken in. I used two skinless chicken breasts, which took about 40 minutes to cook to our liking. We will definately make this again, thanks for posting such a great recipe!

Mama, This was amazing! I made this the other night and it was a HUGE hit. I did as you suggested by doubling the sauce ingredients. I put my veggies in one stoneware dish and my chicken in another and basted both every 15 minutes. I used bone in and skin on, chicken breasts. I did omit the peppers since my husband is not a big fan of bell peppers of any color and used sweet vidalia onions instead of red since that was what I had on hand. I also added a few whole cloves of garlic with the vegetables (I love roasted garlic of any flavor and these were great with their bit of lemon taste and also worked perfectly spread on bread!). Those were the only things that I did differently. Other than that this recipe is perfect as written. Oh MY!!! Truly wonderful tasting and very pleasing to the eye. Thank you again Mama for helping me create something that will now be on my permanent list of favorite dishes. Hugs, Susie

Although I only had boneless skinless breasts, the combinations of seasonings made this too tempting to resist. I cut the amount of meat and oil in half but the stated quantity of the other indgredients. To keep the chicken moist, I burried them under the other stuff. After 45 minutes the chicken was perfect, so I removed it and allow the veggies to go another 22 minutes. The flavors were just great and the lemon and spices reduced to an amazing slightly brown sauce. No bread here so I was forced to use my finger. Thanks Mama!!!!

After reading the other reviews I made sure to cut the potatoes a bit smaller, so they were done along with everything else. I used boneless chicken breasts, but I think this dish would be better with bone-in chicken, including some legs and thighs. I found the breast meat was just too dry, even with the moisture from the basting. The flavor was very good and my family seemed to enjoy it.

This was a good recipe. I did however, find the oregano a bit overpowering, so I might cut that down next time. I did up the lemon juice as my DH and I love lots. Thanks for the recipe!

Superb meal, Mama! The juices mopped up with some bread is outstanding! I doubled the pepper and it was nice and peppy! Loved it, dear!

What a great, easy, hardly-any-clean-up-required meal! I cut down the amount of chicken, skipped the mushrooms, cut the potatoes into chunks and used skinless, bone-in breasts which I trimmed of all visible fat, and a peeled red bell pepper--mine was not as juicy as some, but the flavor was wonderful.

This is the perfect dinner for a mom-on-the-run or a house with kids that don't like the "exotic" twists on food! It is a wonderful recipe for a few reasons and one reason is that I dirtied One Small Bowl, One Knife, One Casserole Dish and wa-la dinner was served!!!! Gotta love a good recipe that is easy to clean up afterwards!!! Oh, almost forgot, it was delicous! I did take the chicken out and let the veggies cook a bit longer and then i simply replaced the chicken and let it warm up before serving. I used a red pepper instead of green and fresh oregano instead of dried.... followed the rest exactly. The veggies were so good and mama's suggestion for bread should not go unnoticed - the juices are incredible! —
