- 4
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 small red onions, cut in quarters
- 1 pound new potatoes, cut in quarters
- 8 ounces fresh whole baby carrots (about 16), green tops trimmed to 1-inch-long
- 1 1/2 cups Swanson® Chicken Stock
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
- Chopped fresh thyme leaves
Preparation
Step 1
1 Heat the oven to 350°F. Stir the flour, black pepper and paprika on a plate. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture.
2 Heat the oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until well browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Pour off any fat.
3 Add the onions and potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the carrots, stock, lemon juice and oregano and heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover the skillet.
4 Bake for 25 minutes. Uncover the skillet.
5 Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.
Easy Substitution: To use 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds) instead of the bone-in chicken, reduce the oil to 1 tablespoon. Proceed as directed above but do not cover the skillet. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.
