Chicken, potato, carrot and onion bake – Dave style
Start with enough peeled, sliced pototoes to fill the bottom of the pan an inch or so deep.
Cut up enough carrots to make a layer and about the same with onions.
Pour a bit of oil (of your choice) over this mix.
Add a couple of spoon fulls of curshed/chopped garlic.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, rubbed sage, thyme, basil and crushed chilli peppers and mix till everything is coated well.
Add salt, pepper, oregano and thyme to the skinned chicken and lay on top of the veggie mix.
Lay strips of thick cut bacon on top of the chicken with an inch or less between strips.
Cover with aluminum foil or a tight fitting lid.
Bake for an hour at 450 F then cut back to 375 F for another 30 minutes and check. Usually another 30 to 45 minutes will see it well done.
Remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes or so still covered, serve and eat.
Be careful when removing foil to check or serve, the steam can cause severe burns.
You may want to add between a half a cup and a cup of (your choice) wine to this before mixing the veggies. The pan I have cooking now got about a cup of White Zinfandel. I’ve also used a cup or so of beer instead. Nothing is critical/sacred here. It’s all good!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe! I intend to try it soon! It smelled really good last night. I went home and had hot dog sandwiches…not as good, I’m sure…
