I love to cook, but I absolutely dread doing dishes. I used to try to avoid cooking just so I didn’t have to worry about the clean up afterwards. -For Italians, the kitchen is sacred. If it’s not clean enough to eat off the floor, it’s blasphemy. The kitchen must be spotless!– So then I discovered one-pot cooking, and life became so much easier! This one-pan simple chicken dinner is a delicious, healthy, and easy meal to throw together in a time crunch, with less clean up!
Ingredients:
Chicken Marinade
- 2 , 12 oz Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, each cut in half (4 , 6 oz pieces)
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
Veggies
- 1 Large Potato, medium cubes
- 1 Large Carrot, roughly chopped
- 1 White Onion, roughly chopped
- 1 Bell Pepper (any color), roughly chopped
- 12 oz. Baby Brussel Sprouts, fresh or frozen
- 2 tsp Fresh Thyme
- 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Can add other veggies too (Broccoli, Mushrooms, etc.)
- 1 Sodium Free Chicken Bouillon Cube
- Extra Sprigs of Fresh Thyme
Instructions:
- Combine the marinade ingredients with the raw chicken breasts and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Dissolve the chicken bouillon cube in 3/4 cup of boiling water. Set aside. In a deep baking dish or large Corningware, combine all veggie and seasoning ingredients (EXCEPT the chicken broth). Stir around until veggies are evenly coated. Bake covered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Take the Veggies out of the oven, place the chicken breasts on top of the veggies, pour the chicken broth into the pan, and place a couple of Fresh Thyme sprigs on top of each chicken breast. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for 25-35 minutes or until fully cooked (depending on thickness of chicken breast). Internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F.
- Let chicken rest for a few minutes, throw away the Fresh Thyme Sprigs and enjoy!
