I used 4 slices of bacon and Margaret Holmes seasoned canned collard greens. I also seasoned my chicken with more than black pepper to give it more flavor. I will definitely use this recipe again. Very good!!

Absolutely wonderful, I used the Glory brand canned greens and the family just raved about the dish. They went back for seconds!

Made this last night...none left! Instead of frozen greens, I used Glory greens(can)drained and seasoned them up of course and used instant brown rice that you heat in microwave for 90 seconds. In doing that, I did not use the chicken broth. More flavor that way.

I agree its a little bland, but still very good. Don't let the collards greens scare you off. They are great in it. I used fresh instead of frozen.

The recipe was good but a little bland. I would suggest adding a little more bacon to add more flavor.
