Want an absolutely fool proof easy chicken dinner?
Here it is.
Two large bone in, skin on breasts. Admittedly, these were huge.
.
.
Place in a large roasting pan with two inches of chicken broth. Bouillon cube based broth will work. Add 5 sections of celery, the upper half of the stalks with leaves. Season with paprika and parsley, Pat with butter.
Bake skin side up for 1/2 hour at 350, turn chicken over and bake for an hour and a half, basting a few times. If you like crispy skin, flip chicken over one more time and bake an additional 5 minutes.
.
.
Remove celery and thicken gravy.
.
.
Seen here served with garlic mashed red potatoes and honey glazed carrots.
Husband likes to eat the soggy celery, I don’t.
A simple satisfying meal.

Yeah, but is it Snoop-approved?
It does look delicious. I’d do thighs instead of breasts personally, but I imagine the cooking time would be similar.

I like thighs for certain things, but the bone in breasts are quite tender this way.

I don’t eat soggy celery either. It’s there for the flavor not to be a gross side item on my plate. Your recipe looks delicious.

It’s all in the taster’s tongue, isn’t it. I love celery, raw, cooked, or soggy in chicken broth.
Did you know cooking cabbage in chicken broth does not stink up the kichen? It makes boiled cabbage a wonderful vegetable.

Really? I like raw cabbage in coleslaw but can’t eat it cooked.

Try it and see. We now have it almost daily, and it tastes really good.

How ironic that this post is in my reader right after Mark’s post about Snoop Dogg chicken. Your post was much more comprehensible to me, so thank you. 😉

The chicken looks better on the plate but I would eat everything in that pan, right out of the pan. I’d take a break to make some gravy and then I would put all the mashed potatoes in it and eat it standing up in the kitchen, looking out the window.

Eating while standing in the kitchen drives Cathy nuts but the view from the kitchen window is better than TV.

We can all give your husband the limp celery. 🙂
An hour and a half? Hmmmm…that seems like a long time, but I suppose since it’s bathing in broth, it didn’t dry out. Looks great!

As long as your pan has enough broth for them to sit in liquid , they stay moist.
