Equipment
- 9×13 inch baking pan
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts, thighs or drumsticks
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut in cubes
- 1 large onion cut in wedges
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes or regular tomatoes cut into quarters
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper roughly chopped

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Add the potatoes, onion, tomatoes, peppers, and olives to a large bowl, and the chicken to another bowl. Add half of each of the garlic, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and paprika over the veggies, and the other half of these ingredients to the chicken. Toss everything well.
- Dump the veggies into a large 9×13 baking dish. Arrange the chicken over the veggies. Roast for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork tender.
- Sprinkle the fresh basil all over the chicken and veggies. Serve, and drizzle some of the pan juices over the chicken.
Notes
Cut your veggies evenly so they roast at the same speed. Use what you’ve got: thighs, breasts, drumsticks, red onions, cherry tomatoes, russets, it all works. Smoked paprika + balsamic = magic: don’t skip those two if you can help it. Want a shortcut? Pre-chop your veggies the night before and store them in the fridge. Leftovers make great lunches: reheat with a splash of broth or wrap it all in a tortilla.
