Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Baked Chicken with Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will set the stage for a delicious meal. Next, grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and lay out the chicken legs, making sure they have plenty of room to shine. Surround them with a colorful array of chopped potatoes, baby carrots, minced garlic, and sliced yellow squash. The vibrant colors will make your dish not only tasty but visually appealing too!
Step 2
Now, let’s add some flavor! Scatter the sliced onion over the top, and sprinkle the dried parsley flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper generously over everything. This is where the magic happens! To finish off the chicken, place half a tablespoon of butter on each leg, allowing it to melt and infuse the meat with rich flavor as it cooks.
Step 3
Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by about half an inch. This will help keep everything moist and tender during baking. Now, cover the pan tightly with foil to trap all those wonderful flavors inside, and pop it into the preheated oven. Let it bake for an hour, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
Step 4
After an hour, it’s time for a little reveal! Carefully remove the foil and let the dish bake for an additional 20 minutes. This will give the chicken a lovely golden color and ensure the vegetables are perfectly tender. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken juices run clear and the veggies are soft and inviting. Serve it up hot and enjoy a meal that’s sure to bring everyone to the table!
