So easy to follow! My kids ate it all, which is rare! 😂
My kids loved it! They actually ate greens for once! 😄
That’s awesome! It’s so great when kids eat their veggies. 👏
Really? My kids would never touch collard greens. 🤔
This is not a healthy dish. How can you cook chicken with skin and feel good about it? #notforme
Tasty! But I kind of burnt my chicken. Maybe I’ll try cooking on lower heat next time.
Lower heat is good idea! But like, why not just try using a timer? That’s what I do!
Burnt chicken? It’s all good! Just keep an eye on it next time. Cookin’s a skill, right? 😊
Need to get a skillet like that, it seems to work magic! 🍳
Right? That skillet looks awesome! Definitely thinking of getting one myself! 🛒
Why do you need chicken broth? Seems like an unnecessary step! 🤔
I actually think the chicken broth adds a lot of flavor and moisture to the dish. Without it, the greens might be too dry! 🥴
Love collard greens but I think there’s a typo. It says 1 cup broth but that’s not enough!
I dont know what collard greens r but I just used spinach, still turned out nice. chicken was good.
I tried making this but the chicken was undercooked. Will definitely need to cook it longer next time.
I ain’t never had a problem with it bein’ undercooked. You sure you followed all the steps?
Maybe try using a meat thermometer next time. It helps to avoid undercooking for sure!
Is collard greens really that good? Not sure I trust this. I’m more of a kale person.
I made this and forgot the chicken broth, it was dry! 😩 Next time I’ll follow the recipe right.
Yum! 👍 Best dish I’ve made in weeks!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! This recipe is a gem, isn’t it? 🔥
So good! The crunch on the chicken is just right. Will be making this again!
Yummy recipe but ugh, what’s collard greens? Honestly, didn’t even care, tasted good!
Absolutely loved this recipe! The chicken was so juicy and the collard greens added a nice touch. Will definitely make it again! 🍗💚
Did not turn out like the picture. What a bummer.🧐
Wasn’t a fan of the collard greens, too bitter for my taste. Chicken was good though.
Collard greens are bitter! Is there a way to take that taste out? I don’t know if I’ll make this again.
This recipe was so easy to follow and turned out delicious! My family loved it.
OMG this chicken was so juicy! I added some hot sauce on top and wow!
Simple, yet delicious! Can’t believe how easy it was! Will make again for sure!
Really easy to prepare but I wish it had more flavor. Maybe add some hot sauce next time?
I followed the instruction step by step but the collard greens turned out mushy. What did I do wrong?
Sooo good!!! I added some hot sauce for a kick and it was perfect! 🌶️🔥
Not sure about the hot sauce. Seems like it might overtake the flavor of the chicken and greens. 🤷♂️
I love the idea of adding hot sauce!🙌 Makes everything better, right? Adding more spice is always a win! 🌶️
Best chicken dish I’ve ever made! So juicy!
This dish sounds delicious! I’m definitely trying it this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Juicy? I dunno, chicken can be kinda dry sometimes. Did you check the temp?
It was okay, but I think the collard greens would’ve been better cooked longer. They were still a bit tough.
This recipe was awesome! My family loved it! 👍
Too salty for my taste. Maybe lay off the salt a bit!
I thought it was perfect! Maybe you just need to adjust your taste buds? The salt really enhances the flavor.
I didn’t find it salty at all. Double check your measurements. Sometimes a pinch too much can ruin it.
This recipe is delish! The chicken came out so crispy, and the collard greens were perfect! Will make again!
Collard greens? Never heard of it! What do they taste like? 🙄
My kids didn’t like it much but I thought it was okay. Just average.
Didn’t have collard greens so I used spinach instead. It was still good but I think I messed it up a bit lol.
Eh, it was alright. Kinda bland if you ask me. Needs more spices!
I made this for my husband and he said it was ‘meh’. Guess we have different tastes!
Maybe he just doesn’t like collard greens? I loved it! Everyone’s taste is different.
I think it sounds delish! But my husband would probably say ‘meh’ too. He’s picky.
Y’all sure about the chicken skins? They just get greasy! But the flavor was good otherwise.
I tried this but used spinach instead of collard greens… did not taste right! 🙁
I think collard greens really make the dish! Spinach is too soft and watery for this recipe. Give it another go with collards!
Who knew spinach was a bad idea? I always use it. But maybe collards are better, I dunno. 🤷♂️
