This is a super-de-duper delicious meal!!!  Its simple to prepare and all you have to do is wait for it to get out of the oven (that’s the hard part). I love making this when there are guests coming over as all I have to do is pop in oven and leave it to do its thang. I always pair it with a giant salad and fresh sourdough bread. Enjoy!

4 potatoes, diced
1-2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

Saving Money:

Purchase your meat in bulk from reputable sources. This will save you time in the long run. When buying chicken look for it without antibiotics / hormones and as organic as possible.

Quick Tips & Tools:

Tools:

Tin Foil, Large baking pan/pot (approx. 12 inches wide × 16 inches long × 3.5″ deep) – I use a large glass lasagna pan


Tips:

Dethaw your chicken in the fridge over night, or on the counter in the morning. You want your chicken completely dethawed before using.
 
 

Saving Time:

This is a one pan meal. There is little to no prep. Simply throw all in one deep pan, cover with tin foil and let it cook. No need to mix it around or flip at any point either.
