Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding some chopped vegetables like carrots or bell peppers along with the potatoes. Adjust the level of garlic and spices to suit your palate; if you love garlic, feel free to add more! For a crispy top, place the chicken under a broiler for a couple of minutes before serving.
