Italian Garlic Chicken and Potatoes
"Olive oil, garlic and herbs. Three simple ingredients that taste great together on just about anything. Here they are combined with chicken and potatoes. I used thighs in this but feel free to used legs or breasts. It looks like a lot of steps, but it's really easy to put together. For a complete meal, add some veggies such as sliced carrots, zucchini, peppers, etc. Makes for easy cleanup too!"

Wonderful flavor and a complete meal! I really liked the marinade flavors on the chicken and potatoes. It was great that the whole meal cooked together. The only thing I might do differently, is to increase the temperature so the potatoes and chicken get a bit crispier. Thank you! -
This was super! Thanks for an easy to put together, but amazingly tasteful dinner. I also added baby carrots to the mix and I wish I had added the fresh brussles sprouts fro the fridge...oh well next time. I will definately be making this again. I also Used chicken breast (bone in) and halved them so they would be closer to the size of a chicken thigh. Thanks again! -
I thought this dish was really tasty and easy to put together and spiced just right -
Made this for dinner last night and I was somewhat disappointed. It has many of my favorite flavorings, but I thought it was not very tasty. I think that next time, I would add all the ingredients to the chicken and let it marinate for at least an hour before cooking it. Also, there wasn't enough of the mixture left to flavor the potatoes and I only used 6 thighs and 3 potatoes. I will try this again using the marinating idea and mix up additional for the potatoes and let you know how that goes. Thanks for posting. -
Excellent.I used chicken breasts in the making. Made as posted adding in the suggested carrots,zucchini and peppers along with the potatoes. Served this with Recipe#242758 making for a meal that was both easy, delicious and flavorful .Thank you for sharing.

Hi! Thanks for taking a peek at my page! I'm formally from East Norriton, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. After 21 years of marriage, got divorced and met a Brit living in the U.S. He decided to come back to his homeland and I came over here about a year later. We were married in October 2005.
Here I am down at Viking Bay which is only two miles from our house. My hubby grew up down here and I love living near the seaside.

We adopted two rescue cats in May 2007 and now I have some company during the day! (Yeah sure, great company they are when they sleep all day!)
Our two 'children'...

I really have it made I think. I have a husband who can cook! I cook during the week and Peter cooks on the weekends. I have included some of his concoctions in my list of recipes.

I'm still unemployed which gives me plenty of time to experiment in the kitchen. I love to cook and try different things and 'Zaar has really helped in that aspect. I'd love to start my own business someday selling some of my homemade creations.

I'm a Betty Boop freak and have loads of stuff that I've collected over the years including a porcelain doll of her in a wedding dress and I even have her tattooed on my ankle.

I enjoy doing cross stitch, cooking, baking and entertaining and hubby and I love our wines!
Some of my pet peeves are bad hygiene, rudeness, bad manners, laziness and people who litter. My favorite cookbook is my Betty Crocker Cookybook. I've had a copy since I was about 12 and it was falling apart. My brother got me a new copy a couple of years ago from ebay and it was a FIRST EDITION and was in excellent condition. Now that I'm here in England, I find myself collecting more cookbooks. I'm going to need another room just for them if I don't cut down a bit!
