ingredients

4 chicken leg quarters (about 3-4 lbs)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons butter, divided
¹⁄₂ cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
8 small baby carrots
1 turnip, peeled
1 potato, peeled
¹⁄₄ lb green beans, trimmed and cu into 2 inch lengths
12 white pearl onions, peeled

directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Using a sharp knife make a cut at the bend between the thigh and drumstick of each piece of chicken. This will aid in cooking faster. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grease a heatproof baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange chicken quarters in dish and dot the chicken with 2 tablespoons of butter. Place in preheated oven and bake about 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine the bread crumbs, shallots, garlic, and parsley. During the last 10 minutes of baking, remove the chicken, baste liberally, and sprinkle with bread crumb mixture and return to oven.
Cut the potato and the turnip, each, into 8 pieces, set aside. In a saucepan, add the carrots and green beans. Cover with water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer 8 minutes. Add turnip, potato and onions and cook about 3 minutes. Drain well.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet. Add vegetables, salt and pepper to taste, and cook 5 minutes. Stir and shake the pan so the veggies cook evenly.
Serve the chicken with the vegetables over top, or serve vegetables on the side.

We may live without poetry, music and art;   We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks.   He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love -- what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? -- Owen Meredith     I'm an all-American original, having lived in Hawaii, New York, Texas, South Carolina, and Miami.  I also served 7 years in the US Army.  My husband is from Bogota, Colombia and has also lived in the former Soviet Union.  But now we are both in NY.   Tomasi enjoyes a bath! <a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view&current=tomas.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/tomas.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a>   Some of my recipes: <object width=480 height=360 data=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw type=application/x-shockwave-flash> <param name=data value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=src value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=wmode value=transparent /> </object> <a href=http://photobucket.com/slideshows target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif alt=/ /></a><a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view?t=12cdcf0a.pbw target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif alt=/ /></a>     I also have the genealogy bug!  I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years.  One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s.  Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s.  So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic.  Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!
