The new Giz has promised not to taste until she's had a healthier meal. And..no baking when hungry. So far I'm a dismal failure but this One Dish Chicken Dinner was the salvation in the midst of insanity.
Italian Dressing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 T fresh garlic, minced
3 T water
1/2 cup oil
1 T Mrs. Dash
1/4 t dried parsley flakes
1/4 t oregano
1/4 t dried basil
1/4 t paprika
1/4 t celery seed
1/4 t pepper
Mix all ingredients together and pour over chicken and potatoes
Roast uncovered at 350 F for approximately an hour (until chicken is done)

ReplyDeleteBen - you're losing weight this time of year - I'm not even talking to you...ok? :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I hear you on the tasting, tasting, tasting. But if you don't taste, how do you know it's fit to be given away as presents?? ;-) That chicken dinner looks sensible and delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt can't get any easier than this! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI like it, too. Boy, I wish I had some chicken right now. All I have are turkey pieces. yes, I know I can sub turkey for chicken, but chicken is so much more...better...
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice healthy meal, reward yourself with a cookie :)
ReplyDeleteducking and running....
I never heard of Mrs Dash. What is this?
ReplyDeleteMaryann - Mrs. Dash is a salt free herbal mix that can be used in cooking. There are many varieties of dried herb mixes and you don't even miss the salt.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I swear I ate all candy and baked goods without a square meal, I felt ill by the end of the night. This sounds delish and is what we need with the holiday insanity.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you Giz I think I have sugar instead of blood running through my veins. I need a sugar intervention! Love the chicken recipe !!
ReplyDeleteThe new Val is taking Giz's advice and trying to eat healthier and lighter meals. (Shhhhhh....but that is just so that I can pilfer more of the goodies).
ReplyDeleteNúria will become a new Núria after all Christmas meals and feasts! It's in my new Year's list to loose some weight and eat less than I do now :D
ReplyDeleteThe chicken is the best medicine for insanity ;D
Giz, nice spice combo and paprika gives chicken a wonderful colour.
ReplyDeletei'm blowing up like a balloon but i'm still really happy you kept the skin on this chicken! there are some shortcuts we just shouldn't take if we want to eat well!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am in for a healthier lifestyle but after Christmas. The chicken sounds easy, healthy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteI won't even start about how I'm doing almost whatever I want until Jan food wise. Girls don't care about abs in the winter, right? :)
ReplyDeleteNice dressing for the chicken, and thanks for reminding to not bake when I'm hungry :)
This chicken certainly looks finger-licking good!Live it up & enjoy...yes, have to submit for Bloggeraid & SOON. More than snug it certainly is, but how fab is the ab in light of delicious yummies? How is Ben disappearing?
ReplyDeleteThis looks PERFECT and easy which makes it perfect-er
ReplyDeleteyes, baking while hungry is a grave mistake. i've learned that the hard way...over and over again. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always a fan of one dish meals, and this sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog - trying the chicken tonight or tomorrow. YUMMMY! Will check out the bloggeraid but right now, Son is hollering for lunch! Vikki www.survival-cooking.blogspot.com
