The best baked chicken ever!!

OK so this is my personal opinion, but I love this chicken (and I'm not a huge chicken fan to start with.) I got the original recipe from a Sunset magazine and altered it slightly to fit the paleo lifestyle. (The original says yukon potatoes and of course I put in sweet potatoes.)

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsn olive oil
5-6 chicken thighs and/or legs or a whole cut up chicken
1 tsp salt and pepper
2 springs thyme
3 peices of bacon sliced (but I always use more you can never have too much bacon)
2 C. chicken broth
1 C. frozen pearl onions
6 cloves of garlic diced
2 large sweet potatoes cubed
1 container of sliced mushrooms







I use a cast ion frying pan for this recipe they are perfect to frying baking and just about everything

Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and some of the thyme. Put the oil in an oven safe pan on the stove top on med add the seasoned chicken,skin side down, until skin is crispy and deep brown (about 12 min.). Set chicken a side.
On med-low cook your bacon and garlic in the same oven safe pan, after browned add the onions, and the remaining thyme. Cook until onions start to carmalized. Stir often (about 5 min.)









Add potatoes, stir until mixture is brown (potatoes are almost soft.) Add the mushrooms and stock bring to a boil cook until the liguids reduced. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegys, skin side up and bake in the oven at 375, uncovered, about 20 min. or until the chicken is completely done (juices run clear.)











Scope out and enjoy!!!!
