What I Made for Dinner

Tonight for dinner I made Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes.  I thought I'd pass along the recipe because it's one of my go-to recipes if I have guests, even though tonight I'm just cooking for my roommate and me. I like it because it's simple, has ingredients most everybody likes, and you don't feel all icky and gross after you eat it.

I will stop giving the picture menus at Chinese
restaurants such a hard time.  

Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes

(thanks McCormick for this recipe)

• 6 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (you can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  The important thing is to have around 2lbs of meat)
• 1 1/2 lbs small red potatoes, cut into 1-in. cubes
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. paprika
• 1 1/2 tsp. crushed rosemary leaves
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper (course ground if you have it)

Mix oil and spices in a large bowl.  Add chicken and potatoes and toss to coat well.  Arrange chicken and potatoes in a single layer on foil-lined pan sprayed with cooking spray.

Roast in preheated over at 425 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.  Feeds 4-6.
