Disclosure: This recipe was originally created for Pillsbury.
I saw a post on social media recently that reads “that bit between Christmas and New Year where you don’t know what day it is, who you are or what your suppose to be doing [sic].” Truer (and more grammatically incorrect) words have never been written. It’s my last day home with my family before I jet back to New York City to try and remember what normal life was like. Though the weather kept me stranded in the house yesterday, it was still a pretty great trip. I got to hang out with a couple of friends and spend some quality time with a large chunk of my family. (I even beat my dad at bid whist a few times.) However, the best part of this trip—by far—has been getting to meet my niece, Madison! Isn’t that the cutest face you’ve ever seen?!?! Needless to say—I’m obsessed. (If you follow me on Instagram, then this is old news.)
Back to the food… I’m not sure if I’ve made the announcement on here yet, but I started creating recipes for Pillsbury over the summer. Here’s one of the recipes I created for them recently. Baked chicken is my go-to recipe for a simple, afterwork dinner. Below is my straightforward baked chicken recipe, but you can customize it however you like with any of your favorite seasonings and sauces. By throwing some vegetables and potatoes in the oven with the chicken you end up with an incredibly easy one pan meal! It’s the perfect dish to add to your repertoire if you’re looking to cook more meals at home in the New Year.
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 pound carrots, chopped
- 1/2 pound baby (new) potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- Ground black pepper
- Garlic powder
Yield: 4 servings
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the chicken, carrots, and potatoes on it.
- Drizzle the pan with the oil and toss the chicken, carrots, and potatoes to coat. Sprinkle with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, being sure to season both sides of the chicken thighs.
- Bake the chicken skin-side up until golden and cooked through, about 40 minutes.
