We are almost in full swing of back to school around here. That will include school supply shopping, uniform shopping, new school spirit shirts, back packs, and lunch boxes.

It will be me trying to figure out quick, easy, and yummy dinners, because I hate spending the entire evening in the kitchen after helping with homework, cooking and cleaning to be followed by baths and bedtime.

It just feels too rushed, and I want to try and have relaxing evenings this year.

I like simple, under 30 minute meals. If it's over 30 minutes, then I prefer to have one pan dishes that I just sorta throw in a pan, and place in the oven, and forget it until the timer goes off.

With minimal clean up.

Lucky for me, and you, since I'm sharing this with you today, this is a throw it in a pan, place it in the oven, set the timer, and enjoy kind of meal.

This one pan chicken and vegetables is done from prep to finish in 45 minutes, and the jest of your work is in the prep and eating.  See, simple!

The carrots and potatoes  are full of flavor, so much that even Kelsie ate the carrots, and that is unheard of.

Although she will eat raw carrots, cooked ones never touch her plate, and if they do they stay there until somebody else eats them, or she feeds them to the dogs.  

The skin on this chicken is crispy and the meat is juicy, so no dried out chicken here.

You can double this recipe to feed more than 6 and really  don't need anything else to go with this, unless you just really wanted rolls.

Which I won't tell you that your wrong, because I would eat rolls at every meal of the day!

    My mom used to make a beef roast in a similar fashion and it was wonderful. Not sure why I never thought of doing the same with chicken. I need to try this one.
