Mel! I just recently found your website and I’m obsessed. Made this recipe last night for my lovely roommates and they loved it! I had to substitute a Malbec for the Sherry (I’m in Argentina and no Sherry here) and used spinach instead of kale but it worked out just fine. Thankssss! Besos from Argentina.

Saw your recipe last week & tried it tonight. This goes into the rotation. Really good. I used chard because it looked the best of the store’s greens. And I mixed in sweet potatoes since I did not have enough reds – I think the mix worked pretty well. Tonight was a trial. When I cook this next, I’ll have company & will time starting the cooking for when they arrive because the aroma from the oven especially at the outset were pretty darned good. Your site & recipes are impressive. Thanks.

Jill – It would be a different flavor, but it would most definitely work.

Don’t usually have sherry in the pantry – would a dry white wine work as a substitute?

Thanks everyone!

PetiteJ – Weird! Were they small? Like the size of home fries? Mine cooked through in the 45 minutes. I used really small ones so maybe that’s why. Maybe next time start them cooking while you prep everything else, then top them with the collards, chicken and shallots?

This looked so delicious I had to make it tonight. It was fabulous! Another recipe to go into rotation. Question: My potatoes didn’t cook all the way. I had to scoop off the chicken and greens and cook the potatoes separately another 25 minutes to get them tender. (Full disclosure, I used almost 2 pounds of chicken boneless thighs.) Any suggestions? Either way I loved this dish and the sauce was fantastic.

I love the redesign and am itching to try this new recipe. Everything always look tastier in a beautiful green (le creuset?) dish! The excellent and photos and food styling might have something to do with that too…
