Baked Cast Iron Chicken and Potatoes

Baked Cast Iron Chicken and Potatoes

OK, so today is going to be one of those "no recipe" days.  Just a day where you make the stuff and it is GREAT.

Yup, baking chicken is so easy.  It's one of those items, that you spice it up and bake it.

But I added a few items to make it my own "recipe" if you will.  So I will get you started, but where you end up, will be your own recipe.

Ingredients

1 package chicken thighs
4 potatoes
3 stalks celery
1 onion
3 tablespoons of Oil

Stuff you will need

14 inch cast iron skillet
Cutting board
Sharp knife
Spatula, it can be metal as your NOT going to hurt the cast iron

Directions

Cut up your your potatoes into bite size pieces.  Same with the onion and celery.  

Pre-heat your oven to 350 F.

Heat your skillet on medium heat.  Once you see smoke coming off the skillet, it is pre-heated and ready to go.  Add the oil.  Then the potatoes and other vegetables.

Fry up your potatoe & veggies in the cast iron skillet till they are about 1/2 way done.  Add what ever spices you like to this.  Were not done cooking them, we are only "starting" them so that we don't have raw potatoes when it's all done.

Spice up your chicken.  I used salt, pepper and garlic.  Do you like some other spices on your chicken?  Go wild.  Remember, this is YOUR recipe, I am only getting you started.

Arrange your chicken on top of the potatoes and into the oven for about 45 minutes.

The drippings from the chicken will saturate the potatoes and veggies.

Comments and suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
