This is an easy and simple way to make Roasted Chicken and Vegetables. It just takes a few minutes to prepare, and then you put it into the oven and bake, leaving you free to enjoy your day or evening. You can also add different vegetables like, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes or squash.

Ingredients

1/2 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. rosemary
2 lbs. potatoes, cut into bite size cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots sliced into round rings
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs olive oil
6 chicken thighs, with or without the skin
salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder
onion powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 300° or 170°, depending on how long you want to bake it. See notes below.

In a small bowl, combine paprika, salt, pepper, and rosemary.

In a large baking pan, combine potatoes, onion, carrots, garlic and olive oil.  Toss to coat the vegetables with the oil. Season the vegetables with the seasoning mixture of paprika, salt, pepper and rosemary.

Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Place chicken on top of the vegetables in a baking pan.

Bake at 300° for 1 hour, or at 170° for 8 hours to 10 hours. Bake until the meat falls off the bone and the vegetables are tender.  We like cooking ours low and slow. Not only does this give the meal a great flavor, it gives you very tender meat.
