Easter Sunday!!


This holiday we decided to stay home and relax. We had nothing prepared, other than the Easter baskets of course, and I was planning on just making a simple chicken dish for dinner. Nothing fancy but sometimes all that matters is that you are with family. 

Our dinner was very simple. I chopped up some veggies and chicken, threw them into a casserole dish, seasoned it and drizzled with some chicken broth and white wine then into the oven to roast. Seriously that simple. It's clean eating made easy without having to clean tons of dishes or think ahead too much. You could really use any veggies you have on hand! 

Here's the recipe:

Simple Chicken and Veggie Roast 

2 chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
3 medium red potatoes cut into bit sized pieces
1 cup tomatoes chopped (I used grape and just halved them)
1/2 a bunch of asparagus cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 of a yellow onion roughly chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tsp. basil (I used dried but fresh would be great too)
2 tsp. white wine
salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Get out your chicken and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
3. Grab your casserole dish and spray it so nothing will stick
4. Put all the chopped vegetables into the dish. I did layers starting with the potatoes, then asparagus and onions finishing with the tomatoes.
5. Next add the chicken around the top of the veggies. 

6. In a small cup or bowl mix the broth and wine together. Drizzle over casserole.
7. Cook for about 45 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through. (Half way I took the casserole out and gave it a good stir.)

Happy (late) Easter from our family to yours!!
