I'm baffled by the 3 star review before mine. This recipe is fabulous and is similar to Ina Garten's roast chicken with croutons. I love the addition of the greens here. These croutons are so good! Decadent and flavorful. If you like bread ( understatement) you will LOVE this recipe. Chicken turned out perfect.
