Chicken with Garlic Potatoes and Rosemary
I love easy dinners. I love easy dinners that taste like I put a lot of effort into making them. This recipe is so simple and tasty my family truly loved it, even my husband who is not a huge fan of chicken.
The addition of bacon, amazing, the garlic slices, I loved, the olives, yum. Everything baked here is delicious. I used chicken legs here today, but feel free to use 8 x 200g chicken thigh cutlets instead.
I also add croutons when I have bread I need to use up, just cut the bread up into large chunks, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and add the croutons in the oven with the bacon, rosemary, garlic and olives.
So this is how I bake this recipe, this is how we like to eat it.
