If you don’t have the time or energy to deal with multiple pots and pans to prepare dinner, I’ve got the perfect dish for you: One Dish Chicken Dinner.
All you need is a 9×13 casserole dish or baking pan, and your ingredients.
For this recipe, I used carrots and potatoes. Sometimes I’ll add onions and fennel, too. It all depends on what I have in the fridge.
The idea with this dish is that you would lay the vegetables underneath a seasoned spatchcocked chicken, or you can use parts and pieces of chicken.
As the chicken cooks, the fat and juices drip down onto the vegetables, making them so savory and delicious. It’s crazy good!
And, the best part is… it’s all done in one dish. So, it makes for an easy breezy cleanup.
If you’re wondering what is a “spatchcocked” chicken, it’s when you remove the backbone of the chicken and lay the chicken flat in the pan. Here’s a tutorial: Spatchcock Chicken
