Made this tonight and it was delicious!!! Only change I would make is to add some salt and maybe pepper to the potatoes before putting in the casserole dish. Even with all the seasonings that go on at the end, the potatoes were a little bland down underneath all that flavorful chicken. But overall this recipe is out of this world good! :)

This turned out so-so for me. It seemed to lack something - maybe adding some other spices or some sun-dried tomatoes would help. I do think it is a helpful base recipe though, and I will play around with it in the future.
