I think this dish might just be the ultimate one - pot wonder! Crispy, juicy chicken with tender vegetables all in a rich flavorful sauce is a meal that's perfect for any night of the week or for casual entertaining.
The reason I call it ultimate is because this dish is so easy and you can be your own chef. What I mean is this - change up the chicken pieces to whatever you like, take away any of the veggies I used and mix in your own, like leeks, parsnips, or possibly just all carrots and potatoes.
See what I mean? I like to serve this dish family style with a green salad, some crusty bread that's always used to scoop up some of the sauce. No matter how you make it…just make it, then stand back, watch your family & friends enjoy a little something wonderful.
