Chicken Roast!

I apologize that there are no pictures for this, but it came out so fantastic, I just had to share the recipe with you! We had a friend visiting, and I was in the middle of a long work day. I'd stopped to call my mom, and she mentioned making a stew, which gave me an idea.

Preheat the oven to 350. Ah, the magic 350 that cooks many things just perfectly.

Put a few pieces of chicken in a baking dish (according to how many people you're feeding, and you can decide if it's breasts, thighs, drumsticks). This is going to be like a pot roast, so make sure the dish will leave you plenty of room for veggies. In my case, I did 4 thighs in a 4-qt Pyrex baking dish.

Chop up as many potatoes as there are pieces of chicken (preferably red) into quarters (or rather, however you can best get big bites like a stew or pot roast). Toss them around the chicken. Do the same with some white onion, though you don't need much (about 1/2 a cup will make enough for the whole pan), and about half of a green bell pepper. Slice a large clove of garlic and decorate the chicken with the "chips".

Douse the lot in about a up of chicken broth. Tear up fresh rosemary and sprinkle all over the place. You'll use about 3 tablespoons of it for 4 pieces of chicken. If you only have dried rosemary that's okay too, but the fresh rosemary is so aromatic. Sprinkle about 1 tbsp pepper and a tiny pinch of coriander on top of everything.

Cover it with foil, put it in the oven, and I dare you to try and focus on anything else for the next 40 minutes because it smells amazing as soon as it starts warming! Pull the foil off at 40 minutes, and to the frustration of hungry people that can smell it, give the chicken about another 10-15, until it starts browning on top. You probably won't need that step if you're using thin breasts.

Pull out and serve piping hot. Don't be afraid of the garlic slices, they're incredibly tasty!

...I wanted to get a picture at least of the finished product, but our tummies would wait no longer! I'll make it again soon and add pictures to this.
