hibarihime: I don’t know how to feel about this being cooked all together especially the veggies being done in 30 minutes. Honestly, I would just cook the chicken, vegetables, and bacon separately since I like a golden brown color on my chicken and the bacon won’t be as crispy as I like if I put it in the oven like that. More work but better result, imo. Also, I feel like the bacon is out of place here. Maybe cook it then use some of the grease to coat the veggies in then toss the bacon in when the veggies are done.
HeftyJo: Yay, grey chicken with rubbery skin….

AllAboutLove: You lost me at brussel sprouts. Not even bacon can redeem them for me. I don’t cook all that much, but I can’t help but wonder if the bacon would be chewy done this way.
tdevore: I’m just wondering if 30 minutes is enough. There’s nothing worse than undercooked chicken.
Graybealz: Brussel sprouts always smell like farts when they are cooked. I don’t know if that’s just me, or what. Maybe it’s like cilantro, but I just can’t help but think of a bunch of fart flavored chicken. I’d swap out carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, or don’t replace them and have a side of green beans or a salad.
