Tips and Tricks
Even though I used chicken thighs to make this dish, it can easily be made with chicken breasts or even drumsticks. Use whatever you have in your freezer!
And simply because I was being lazy, I didn't quarter my potatoes. On a non-lazy day, I normally would just to give them more of a roasted flavor. The potatoes are totally up to you & your level of laziness the day you cook this dinner!

I love this recipe!! However instead of butter and seasoning I've always used half a bottle of Italian dressing. Works great!

I do believe I just found my supper for tonight. My college student loves any chicken dish. I'm going to use boneless, skinless breasts and probably fingerling potatoes.
Thank you!
