Baked Chicken and Root Vegetables
This is a favorite comfort food dish of ours – it’s quick and easy and makes plenty to last for a couple of meals. You can easily substitute any vegetables with whatever you have on hand. We love it.
2-3 Chicken Breasts
4 Medium Potatoes
2 Sweet Potatoes or Yams
3 Carrots
1 Large Yellow Onion
1 Zucchini
1 Yellow Squash
3-4 Large Cloves of Garlic
Worcestershire Sauce
Herbs such as Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Sage
Chop up all your ingredients into thick chunks. If I’m using sweet potatoes, I like to steam them for a minute or two to give them a head start over the other vegetables. I just put them in a bowl in the microwave with a little bit of water in the bottom of the bowl. Toss all ingredients (including the raw chicken) together with a generous amount of Worcestershire sauce, herbs, salt and pepper. Lay in a baking dish, cover with tin foil, and bake at 350 until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the vegetables and potatoes are tender.
Some of our favorite garnishes are more Worcestershire sauce (mine), some hot sauce (Josh’s) or for a creamy decadent treat, add a dollop of creme fraiche (mmmmm…..).
