Ingredients

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 small red onions, cut into quarters
  • 1 pound new potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 8 ounces fresh whole baby carrots (about 16), green tops trimmed to 1-inch-long
  • 1 1/2 cups Swanson(R) Chicken Stock
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh

Method

  • 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Stir the black pepper, paprika and flour 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 until it's well browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
  • 3. Add the onions and potatoes to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. 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 20 minutes. Uncover the skillet and bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with the thyme, if desired.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve with corn muffins and steamed broccoli flowerets. For dessert serve red grapes.
  • To use 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves 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.
