recipe: baked chicken and sweet potatoes
I tried this recipe for dinner on Friday night and it was so delicious (and simple) that it had to be shared. As chicken is the protein of choice in our house, I've tested numerous dishes over the past few years. This is going into my top 5 favorites. Fool-proof, incredibly flavorful and easy on the budget. I'm already looking forward to making it again.
One-pan Baked Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
3/4 c Zesty Italian Dressing
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 4) cut in 3/4 inch wide spears
4 lbs chicken pieces (I used legs and thighs), on the bone
Heat oven to 375.
Mix salad dressing, brown sugar, vinegar and thyme in a bowl. Add potatoes, toss to coat. Transfer potatoes to lasagna or roasting pan (approx. 15x10x1"), reserving dressing mixture in bowl.
Add chicken to reserved dressing mix, toss to coat. Place in pan with potatoes. Pour remaining sauce over chicken.
Bake 1 hour or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through (165 degrees).

still here...
i am...
minus a home computer
living life rather than writing it
making big decisions
adjusting to big changes
being mama
working
starting to bake again
project life-ing
thankful for each day
he is...
busy, busy, busy
still loving trains
not sleeping much
cutting more teeth (see above)
exquisitely adorable
filling us with wonder and awe
almost 21 (???) months
i am still here, just focusing on other priorities and waiting/planning to see where life will take our family in the upcoming months. all good stuff. and i'll be back, all in good time...
