This is a tasty chicken dish to make for any family dinner, and it's special enough for guests.
Ingredients:
* 4 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
* 4 tablespoons olive oil
* 4 cloves garlic, chopped
* 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
* 3 to 4 leeks, trimmed, washed, thickly sliced
* 2 pounds potatoes, cut in 1 1/2 to 2-inch chunks
* Salt and pepper
Preparation:
Heat oven to 400°.
Line a large baking pan or roasting pan with foil, if desired. Spray foil or pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash chicken and pat dry. Arrange the chicken in the prepared pan. Combine the oil, garlic, and basil. Brush a little of the mixture over the chicken breasts. Combine the remaining oil and garlic mixture with the leeks and potatoes in a bag or bowl and toss to mix well. Arrange vegetables on and around the chicken; sprinkle vegetables and chicken with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken and potatoes for 30 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender. When chicken is cooked, juices will run clear when the chicken is pricked with a fork.
Serves 4.
