Chicken in a Large Oven Pan

INGREDIENTS:

  • Chicken Pieces (breasts, legs)
    sufficient for group

  • Potatoes (1 per person) -- cut usually with a
    crinkle cutter in quarters or larger

  • Can of tomatoes

  • 1 Can Peas

  • Onion -- sliced

  • Oregano

  • Salt/Pepper to taste

  • Olive Oil

    • DIRECTIONS:
Brown the chicken in some oil. In a large baking pan 
arrange the chicken and pour in drippings from browning.  
Add potato sections around the chicken pieces.  
Add raw onion rings on top. Squeeze canned tomato over 
the top.  Sprinkle oregano, salt and pepper to taste.  
Drizzle olive oil over all.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for at least 
two hours, basting occasionally. In the last half hour 
or so, add peas by sprinkling them over the top. Remove 
the cover to let much of the moisture evaporate, and to 
allow some of the top to become a bit crispy.



    COMMENTS: 
This is a one-pan-contains-all meal with a no-nonsense 
name! It is a personal favorite that can be made with 
pork chops and sausage as well.  
It has become a favorite when a "portable" nourishing 
meal is needed for a large group -- such as funerals, 
etc. Believe the cooking time and test the potatoes.  
Underestimating can end in disaster.  Enjoy!
