This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a chicken pot pie with the leftover chicken and it was delicious.
