Thank you Zona! Made my life easier :)

Incredible how difficult it's become to quickly find an old school simple bake recipe online, in a glass 13x9 no less.

Hope you and yours are well. Take good care.

I want to try this, it sounds so delicious & easy! Do you think zucchini and/or squash would work under the chicken as well or in addition to the potatoes?

Zona

Hi Jessica, personally I would love that! But it may result in very soft zucchini which some people don't enjoy. Please let me know if you try it and how it turns out :)

This recipe sounds great , could I use Chicken breaststroke instead of chicken thighs? It doesn't seem like it would be a problem. Thank you

Zona

Hi Fanchon, that should work fine. Make sure they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Hi Zona, this sounds delicious, and I use boneless skinless thighs?

Zona

Tuesday 10th of November 2020

Hi Cathy, I have not tried using boneless skinless thighs in this recipe. I think you can use them but they would probably cook a little quicker than bone-in chicken thighs. You still want to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Thanks for your question :)
