Ingredients for 123 Chicken

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch angled slices
  • Italian Dressing

How to Make 123 Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Place 1.5 lbs of bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Cut 1 lb of potatoes into 1-inch cubes and 1 lb of carrots into angled 1/2-inch thick slices.
  5. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the chicken in the baking dish, leaving some space between the pieces for even cooking.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp chicken broth, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  7. Pour the dressing evenly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
  8. Add 1/8 cup of water to the bottom of the pan around the edges to create steam.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  11. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, if desired, to brown the chicken and vegetables further.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
