Cook Notes Summary
The dish was successful and worth making again, especially when aiming for thoroughly cooked chicken and well-browned, slightly scorched potatoes. Timing can be difficult, so expect some practice and adjust quantities or cooking times as needed; keeping the chicken in the skillet throughout is simpler but may dry it out, while removing it during vegetable cooking should help preserve moisture.】【。
