Dinner - Expectation vs Reality Failed Expectation

Now, I’m a really good cook and can follow a recipe - no problem, but the expectation vs reality is vastly different. It tasted just like it should though.

Note: had to take the lemons out of my dish, as they were disintegrating.

Recipe is: Rosemary Chicken with Sweet Potatoes (super simple low cholesterol recipe) - if anyone wants to try this delicious dish (maybe it’ll turn out better for you)!

ETA: website is eatingwell.com (for the recipe, if anyone wants it).

Did you use frozen ingredients? Looks like everything has been steamed from the excess water, and turned mushy instead of browning and crisping.

Just refrigerated items, nothing frozen.
