One Skillet Roast Chicken and Pier Potatoes
One pot roasted chicken and taters.
My sister-in-law gave me this recipe, said she saw it on TV. Had to give it a try. This is pretty slick, 1 pan only, easy, very tasty. I mean the potatoes cook in the chicken juices, amazing flavor. We thought the potatoes were a tad on the salty side, but we are not serious salt fans. I could easily see different flavor profiles with different spices if one desired. Rosemary instead of thyme comes to mind. Try this, let me know how it turned out for you please. I called it pier potatoes because the potatoes act like a pier, holding up the chicken.

- 15
Remove skillet from oven. Place chicken on a clean plate or cutting board. Tent with foil.
- 16
Cover potatoes in skillet, return to oven. I usually turn my oven off at this point, there is enough heat in there.
- 17
Wait 15-20 minutes to let the chicken rest.
- 18
Carve chicken as desired.
- 19
Remove skillet from oven. Uncover.
- 20
Serve potatoes with the dark side (browned side) down. They should have a soft creamy top, with a crisp or slightly chewy bottom.

NOTE - a 12 inch skillet is ideal for this, but the only one I had oven proof over 350°F was this 10 inch cast iron. I could only fit about 1 1/2 medium potatoes on it.
