One Pot Chicken and Vegetables - A simple dish of browned chicken with potatoes and vegetables made easy by cooking it all in one skillet!
I have an admission to make. This recipe was totally created out of my laziness. I know. I should be giving you some story about my brilliant idea that I knew was going to work from the very beginning and that I never questioned it. But that's just not true. My plan was to oven roast some chicken, potatoes and vegetables and you know what stopped me? The thought of having to wash my baking sheet. I know. Lazy.
Yes, I still had to wash my skillet but washing my non stick skillet is a whole lot easier than washing my baking sheet. Even when I line the baking sheet with non stick foil, something always drips and runs under the foil. It's an awkward size to be washing in the sink and then I can't just drop it in the drying rack to dry because it doesn't fit right. If I do manage to balance it on the drying rack, sure enough, an hour or so later, when I'm least expecting it, it will fall and scare the bejezus out of me. So, again, lazy.
Regardless of the fact that this recipe came from laziness, it worked and it worked big. The chicken remained moist and it had lots of flavor. If this dish is missing one thing, it's that I didn't get a caramelization on the potatoes like I would have in the oven, but seriously, does it even matter? I didn't think so either.

I adore one pot recipes like this - and I can totally identify with not wanting to wash a baking sheet. That happens to me more often than I'd like to admit. Your One Pot Chicken and Vegetables looks scrumptious - and I love the addition of the rosemary!
