One-Pan Herb Baked Chicken and Potatoes is just about the easiest dinner ever! Chicken and potatoes are coated in a delicious salty herb rub and baked in one pan. The chicken and potatoes are tender and full of flavor. A crowd pleaser for sure!
Do you ever get stuck in a dinner rut? I do, all the time! I do all my meal planning on Saturdays for the next week and then go to the store that same day and buy all the ingredients. Sometimes it gets overwhelming to come up with five or six dinner ideas that are easy enough to make on a busy night and that all of my family will like.
One thing that is always a winner, is chicken. I think that’s where the saying “winner, winner, chicken dinner” comes from! 😉 Chicken dinners are usually winners at my house! So are potatoes. I decided to amp up boring chicken and potatoes by rubbing them in a salty herb rub and then baking, all in one pan!
The outcome? Incredible! The Herb Baked Chicken and Potatoes come out so tender, juicy and flavorful. The flavor is all thanks to the fresh herbs and Morton’s Coarse Kosher Salt. Have you ever tried this kind of salt before? It’s my favorite go-to salt for everything! No, seriously. It’s the best.
Morton’s Coarse Kosher Salt comes out in little flakes. They’re larger than regular table salt crystals and really bring out the flavor of whatever you’re using it on. I added this salt to my herb rub because the crystals are larger and dissolve slower, enhancing the flavor of the chicken, potatoes and herbs.
Why am I partnering with Morton Salt? They just launched a cool Next Door Chef program which pairs an acclaimed chef with a novice cook to teach them how the proper usage of salt can transform home-cooked food into something beyond ordinary. Using the tips and tricks learned, the novice cook creates a restaurant-quality dish from the comfort of their own home. Check out the first experience on Next Door Chef!
I love the versatility of Morton’s Coarse Kosher Salt and use it frequently during the week while I cook. I also love being able to use only one pan for a dinner because that means less clean up! This is one of those easy meals that takes hardly any prep work but gives you an almost complete meal. Just throw a salad on the side and dinner is served!
