Why, just last night I spent an hour hanging around the skillet. Of course, I didn't do much - that skillet should earn an allowance with all the work she does. I sat around reading the Post, retrieving the skillet from the oven every so often to alter something here and there. I took a few pictures, too.
Anyway, my efforts, or rather the skillets efforts, paid off. Dinner was good, and though time consuming, was very easy to prepare. Here's what I made:
Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Asparagus
1 Sweet Potato; sliced
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
2 (4oz) Chicken Thighs
Fresh Asparagus; cut into 2" pieces
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Lay the potatoes in a single layer in the skillet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, stir to coat. Add to oven and roast 15 minutes.
3. Coat chicken and asparagus with remaining tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Remove skillet from oven and push potatoes to one side. Add chicken, skin-side down. Return to oven, roast 25 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and turn the chicken. Push chicken aside and add asparagus. Return to oven. Roast 5-7 minutes longer. Remove from oven and plate.
There you have it: A tasty (and nutritious) dinner that was easy to make. But no one else has to know.
Tell them how you labored.
