Chicken Dinner Recipes

We’re all looking for easy dinner recipes, especially family-friendly recipes! There just aren’t enough of them if you like to cook mostly from scratch like I do. It’s just healthier and cheaper.

Bone-in chicken is less expensive than boneless chicken and that’s a way to save on your grocery bill. It does make the cooking time longer.

Also, if you have picky eaters in your family, they can easily pick out the things they don’t care for like onions. They’re going to love this juicy chicken!

chicken thighs
Russet potatoes
green bell pepper
red bell pepper
onions
garlic powder
Italian seasoning
fresh rosemary
extra virgin olive oil

Instructions Summary

First, preheat oven to 375F.

Then, clean and cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

Put all ingredients into a large bowl and stir together so the olive oil and seasoning coats the chicken, potatoes, onions and peppers. I find it easier to do in a bowl rather than directly on the baking sheet so that the raw chicken juices don’t fall over the sides and onto my countertop.

Then, put the contents of the bowl into a large roasting pan or baking sheet. Try to arrange the chicken and veggies into a single layer for even cooking.

Then, bake until the chicken and potatoes are golden brown -about 45 minutes or when the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165F. Let rest 5-10 minutes before serving.

Substitutions

Instead of russet potatoes, use Yukon gold potatoes, baby potatoes, or red potatoes
Use yellow or orange bell peppers instead of green and red.

Make Ahead

If you want to make this chicken dish ahead. You can add all of the ingredients to the pan except for the potatoes. Peel them, cut them and place them in a bowl of water so that they’re submerged until you’re ready to use them within 24 hours.

Then, just drain them in a colander and put them in with the other ingredients to bake.

What’s great about this chicken and potatoes recipe is you can use any chicken pieces you like such as chicken breasts, wings or drums. However, the cooking time will vary and it may take longer to bake.

I’ve even used boneless, skinless chicken thighs to make this dish with a shorter cooking time.
