When my mom didn\u2019t feel like making lunch or dinner, she \u201ctreated us\u201d to a meal at her favorite local cafeteria. She\u2019d order us each a plate with a fried chicken leg, some mashed potatoes, and green beans. Sometimes we\u2019d get a cloverleaf roll on the side and always a little bowl of chocolate pudding for dessert.\n<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t anything super special about the food, but it was always comforting and satisfying. That\u2019s the goal for every meal I make, especially when the temperature drops. One meal that delivers comfort and satisfaction while also being super delicious is my one-pan garlic chicken and potatoes.\n<\/p>\n

Just like the cafeteria dish from my childhood, this recipe starts with chicken. I like to use bone-in, skin-on drumsticks and thighs. Keeping the bone and skin ensures the chicken remains juicy as it cooks. Using dark meat instead of white brings more flavor to the party and a bit of fat for tenderness.\n<\/p>\n

I employ the contents of a ranch seasoning mix packet to keep things easy and use it to marinate both the chicken and potatoes. I often use baby Yukon gold potatoes because there\u2019s minimal prep\u2014just a simple wash and pat dry, and they\u2019re ready to go. I also add one whole head of garlic to the pan, drizzling it with a bit of oil and then squeezing out the golden, buttery cloves to spread over everything when serving.\n<\/p>\n

Besides being delicious and simple to prepare, it\u2019s a meal that the whole family can enjoy. Everyone gets to choose their favorite cut of chicken, scoop up as many potatoes as they want, and then have fun spreading the garlic over it all.\n<\/p>\n

To keep the meal low-maintenance, I often roast broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or other hearty vegetables on a baking sheet on the top rack of the oven while the chicken cooks. A big salad is a great side for this dish, as is crusty bread!\n<\/p>\n

Tips for Making One-Garlic Chicken and Potatoes <\/span> <\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Swap the seasoning.<\/strong> You\u2019ll need 2 to 3 tablespoons of seasoning \u201cmix\u201d for the amount of chicken and potatoes listed here. Try Greek or Italian seasoning blends instead of the ranch, but if possible, choose a mix with no added salt or that\u2019s low-sodium so you can control the amount of salt in your dish.<\/li>\n
  • Play with the potatoes.<\/strong> The small size of baby potatoes is nice, but if you can\u2019t find them, regular Yukon gold, red, or fingerling potatoes will also work. Just cut them into 1\/2 to 3\/4-inch pieces before roasting.<\/li>\n
  • Add more garlic.<\/strong> For even more garlic flavor, add another head or two of garlic to the sheet pan. Any leftovers can be wrapped up and refrigerated and used within 2 days.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
