Lemon Chicken Thighs

 Al Nobile (California) says:
Great recipe! I prepared this in my cast iron pan, microwaving the potatoes until soft, then adding them to the chicken. I used a dry sherry instead of the white wine, which I rarely have on hand. My stove top method reduced the lemon/broth enough so the cornstarch was not needed. I will make this again!
