Recipe: Chicken and Two Potatoes

This is one of our regular rotation dinners. If you've read my What's For Dinner posts you probably have seen it in my weekly menus. I like this recipe because it's relatively easy,  if you have frozen chicken the other ingredients last forever so it's easy to have them on hand, and it's yummy. It's one of those meals that you don't have to be in the mood for it's tasty and filling whenever.

 Ingredients

• 1 large yam
• 2 small to medium potatoes
• 2 chicken thighs
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp olive oil
• garlic salt
• grated (or powder) parmesan
• Italian herbs

 What to do

• Cut potatoes in wedges. 
• Microwave white potatoes and butter for 1 minute. Stir. Add the yams and microwave for an additional minute with the olive oil and stir.
• Toss with garlic salt. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle herbs and parmesan on top.
• Cut under side of thighs so they open more. Lay on top of potatoes, sprinkle with more sprinkle herbs and parmesan on top. Spray with oil.
• Bake at 450 for 20-45 minutes. Don't add any more oil the chicken has plenty already. Sometimes I adjust the chicken part way through so the potatoes are covered differently. (this serves 2 but can easily be doubled)
