    Lots of stuff going on but great flavors and great dish. Marinating chicken all day upped the flavor quotient as well.

    I love chicken thighs. They are my favorite part of the chicken. I was scrolling through the website and this caught my attention. Printed it, cooked it, loved it.

    Overall this was a great recipe. I made a few changes that made the dish taste fresher. I opted to forgo the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and just used regular diced tomatoes. I omitted the portobello mushrooms and went for anaheim peppers instead of the cubanelle. I actually had the chicken thighs marinating for a bit before I grilled them instead of just adding the marinade to the chicken thighs right before grilling. The smashed potatoes were a big hit and I absolutely loved how the garlic flavor resonated through the potatoes. Definitely a keeper and a very easy recipe to cook up quickly!

    I just made the chicken and I loved the marinade. I have a rosemary plant and that fresh rosemary flavor was really nice. Some of the other posters might be using dried herbs, hence the bland sauce.

    This was a delicious, quick meal. I used store bought mashed potatoes to make things even quicker. My store did not have cubanelles so I just used red and yellow bell peppers and a white onion. The hubby practically licked the bowl clean he enjoyed it that much : Definitely a keeper!

    Wonderful! I made this dish with boneless,skinless,chicken breast. It was awesome. My family enjoyed this recipe. I have been told to make it again.

    My family LOVED this recipe, but only after I did a little tweaking to it. I agree with other reviewers that the sauce was very bland so I added in the ingrediants of the marinade to the sauce and it turned out so full of flavor! As for the potatoes, they were horrible. The ricotta just makes the potatoes grainy and lack-luster. I will definately make the chicken again, but with just good old garlic mashers instead. Thanks Rachel for the recipe!

    For those of you who are saying this isn't a 30-min meal, here's my suggestions for shortcuts -- use a prepared marinara or tomato sauce. I used Giada's veg marinara (avail at target and it had all the components of the sauce and all I had to do was warm and pour it over the chicken. For the chicken, I have a cuisinart griddler, so i can grill foods on both sides at the same time. I also used left over rice I had in the refrigerator instead of the pasta.

    It might not be a true 30-min meal, but whatever choice of prep you use, it's still a good recipe! looking forward to making it again.

    What this recipe is not is a 30 minute meal. I consider myself an accomplished cook and there is NO way I would have been able to complete the entire dish in 30 minutes. That said....who cares....it was totally worth it.
    I made the recipe nearly as published with only minor alterations. I added about 1/3 cup red wine to the pepper/onion/garlic saute to deglaze the pan and let it mostly cook off. Then added the tomatoes and parsley as well as a bit of basil since I had it in the garden. My chicken thighs were not boneless and next time I will make sure they are.
    Didn't have any ricotta cheese in the fridge, but I did have mozzarella....no problem...was very nicely gooey with the potatoes and added garlic/butter mixture.
    This one has been saved. Wonderful flavor....will be making again, and again, and again. Good company meal.
    (Oh, and I did have some mesquite chips on the grill for a little smoke....Yum
