Notes

Tips
• Use any herbs of choice on the potatoes
• I used charlotte potato for this recipe, but you can use any baking potato you have at hand.
• Make sure it is cut into equal sizes and smaller chunks, so they bake evenly.
• Bake the chicken and potatoes in a ceramic baking dish
• Instead of stovetop broccoli, 15 minutes before you take the chicken and potatoes out of the oven, add the broccoli floret (tossed with tiny salt and melted butter) and continue to roast in the oven.
• Swap Broccoli for tomatoes
