Classic Comfort, Minimal Mess!

My husband has always been the definition of a “meat and potatoes” guy. While I’m constantly testing new recipes with fun ingredients and different flavors, he would happily eat a simple roasted chicken dinner every single week.

So I wanted to create a version that still felt classic but tasted anything but boring.

After a few rounds of testing, this became the clear winner.

The garlic and Italian seasoning give the chicken incredible flavor, while the chicken broth keeps everything moist as it roasts. a reliable part, though, is what happens to the vegetables. The potatoes absorb all those savory juices, the onions become soft and sweet, and the carrots develop the reliable caramelized edges.

All the ingredients in this recipe laid out for straightforward prep.

CHELSEA’S RECIPE TIP

Top Tips For One-Pan Chicken and Potatoes

  • Don’t skip the broiler: It gives the chicken gorgeous, crispy skin.
  • Use a large sheet pan: Crowding the ingredients causes them to steam instead of roast.
  • Spray the chicken with cooking spray: A light coating before baking encourages better browning.
  • Let the chicken rest: This helps the juices stay inside the meat.
  • Spoon the pan juices over everything: That’s where so much of the flavor lives.
