MAMMA'S FAMOUS ROASTED CHICKEN

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins or longer if using slow cooker
Total time: 40 mins
Serves: 4

Fireside Chicken, roasted chicken, easy 3-ingredient chicken...call it what you will. When I put it on the table, I call it Mamma's Famous Roasted Chicken (named so by my daughter)!

INGREDIENTS

Chicken pieces, fresh (you can use bone-in or boneless, with or without skins) I like to use boneless skinless thighs. They always bake up moist and tender, and are low-fat without the skins.
Russet potatoes, 3 or 4, washed and sliced lengthwise to make cottage-style fry shaped pieces.
Carrots, fresh, whole baby.

INSTRUCTIONS

I use a 9 x 12 cake pan, line it with foil, put the washed chicken pieces in (however many will fit--usually 6 or 8 pieces), add the potatoes and carrots, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour in a half cup of water to keep the chicken and veggies moist, then close up the foil, pop it into a 350-degree oven, and set the timer for 30 minutes. It depends on how thick the chicken pieces are as to how long it will take it to cook. But, just continue to cook until the chicken is not pink in the middle and the juices run clear.

Alternatively, you can put this in the slow cooker on high for 3-4 hours and it's done!

My whole family loves this dish, and if there are any leftovers, I put it in a plastic bowl and it re-heats well after being frozen!

Notes: Add celery and onions ( mushrooms if I have them ) with the veggies and use chicken stock instead of water....so dang good and easy for a busy day. instead of the potatoes you can use orzo or rice and works great too.
