Ez-Pz Chicken Bake Up

Deane Long

This is what I fall back on when it comes dinner time and I have no idea what to make. It is easy to cook, cheap and easy to clean up. It can also be modified to add a wide variety of favorite vegetables or sides and seasonings. The beauty of this recipe is everything is cooked in the same pan with the chicken, giving it delicious flavor.

Notes

I like to change around the vegetables and seasonings on this to mix it up, also goes great with a side of white rice. Frozen corn, coarse chopped mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts for instance can all be thrown in instead of, or in addition to, the mixed veggies and potatoes at the same cook time. I also like to add rosemary, sage and turmeric to my spice mix with cayenne for heat.
