We love this meal here, especially me. An all in one dinner equals one dish to wash up and nothing else! This herby one pot chicken, is absolutely delicious, it is very tasty and the children always love me serving this up…and that makes a change to get a hands up from everyone!
All measurements are approximate because I have a big family, two teenage boys eat the equivalent meals of four grown men so I throw in as much as possible. I cook this in huge aga roasting tin. I also vary the vegetables depending on what I have in the fridge. Butternut squash is good as would be any number of vegetables that like being roasted such as courgettes, leeks, aubergine.
If you were cooking this meal for four adults I would suggest the following so adjust according to numbers and appetites:
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
- 500g baby new potatoes
- 300g chantenay carrots or carrots peeled and chopped into large chunks
- fresh parsley
- fresh thyme
- whole bulb of garlic separated
- 8 chicken thighs or 4 breasts
- 1 lemon
- 200ml chicken stock or 100ml white wine & 100ml chicken stock
- Preheat oven to 180ºC/gas mark 6
- Halve the potatoes and toss in the roasting tin with 1 tbsp of olive oil
- Add the carrots, chopped parsley, sprigs of thyme and the garlic cloves to the tin
- Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and carrots
- Slice the lemon and add to the tin
- Drizzle olive oil over the contents of the tin and then add the stock and wine, if using
- Roast for approximately 45 minutes or until the potatoes and chicken are cooked

This looks lovely nice and easy and no stress just the kind of cooking I like. Well be trying this one soon xx
Thanks Kerry, I hope you like it. It is so quick and easy to just throw it all in and forget about it. 🙂
That looks gorgeous – I’m doing Slimming World at the moment and that would be ideal for me as we can all eat it. I’m going to try that this weekend. Thanks very much x
Oh I’m loosely doing Slimming World too and I had some left over so had this two days in a row. I hope you like it. 🙂
OH! Does that look yummy! Very hearty.
Thank you, I like hearty meals . 🙂
This looks absolutely delicious. We eat a lot of chicken so I’m very glad to have found a new recipe, thank you!
Thanks for taking part in the carnival x
Great! It really is a family favourite and you can adapt it so much as well. 🙂
Well, that looks delicious. Also, my kids are gluten-free,
dairy-free and have a number of allergies, but they can eat this.
Sweet!
Brilliant! My son is gluten free too so always better to have one dish rather than two slightly different ones.
Yum, that looks divine.
I will be printing off these recipes.
Thanks Mich x
Thanks Michelle. It really is very tasty. 🙂
Gosh that looks and sounds delicious! I adore butternut squash so that would be first prize.
Oh me too…..I can’t get enough of butternut squash. You could replace the potatoes for sweet potatoes as well, that would be good. 🙂
Mmm, mmm, that looks great – quick, tasty & filling.
Thank you. I like big dinners! 🙂
…now that’s the kind of cooking I love, quick easy and not too much fuss, it’s the kind of reciipe I have to use these days being strapped for time. I shall try it out next week
Perfect when you have little ones. You just can’t spend hours cooking can you. Enjoy. x
