"Cracker Barrel restaurant serves something similar to this dish. This is our at-home version. Bone-in meat works best. The chicken flavors the potatoes & veggies so well."

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it as directed but found that it took about an hour for the chicken and potatoes to cook. The skin on the chicken didn't crisp up at all so I think that next time I would use a skinless thigh instead. I would think that lots of other veggies could easily be added to this as well with good results. Thanks thedixongang for a nice meal. Made for Fall PAC 2012.
