This recipe has been in my “to-try” file for so long. What made me try it now, after all these years? Cooler weather, which we don’t come by too often in Florida. Roasting chicken and vegetables in one pan also means easy clean-up duty.
Yes, I know I say to use bone-in, skin-on chicken and this photo has skinless but it’s all my store had at the time. These photos are from different times I’ve made the dish. You know it’s a real favorite in my house!
It’s hard to find small new potatoes in my area so I went with red potatoes and cut them into quarters or smaller if they were really large. The original recipe calls for bone-in chicken breasts but I will often use thighs as well. That’s my husband’s preference. I don’t recommend using boneless pieces in this recipe because the vegetables and chicken would not cook evenly.
Add a nice crusty loaf of bread or crescent rolls, along with a garden salad and you have a complete meal.

Instructions

Notes
A 9 x 13 baking dish will be too small for this recipe. I use a larger roasting pan.
