Oven Baked Chicken with Mashed Potatoes

This is one of the easiest recipes I have. One the reason I love this recipe is because you can start with the frozen chicken and in an hour is ready. So if you have tons to do around the house and you can't stay in the kitchen long this is the perfect recipe. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:
  • 1-2 lbs Chicken Drums
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 1 Packet Chicken Seasoning and Bag (pic on the side)
  • 6 Russet Potatoes
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • Salt and Pepper To Taste
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F
  2. Remember you can make it with frozen or thawed chicken. Put chicken inside the bag that the seasoning comes with. Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of the chicken. Add water and close the bag. Don't forget to add 3-4 holes to the bag so the steam can escape. Put inside the oven. If you started from frozen leave it in the oven for 1 hour. If you have thawed chicken leave it for 45 minutes.
  3. Wash the potatoes and add to pot with water and put it to boil. You always want to start cooking the potatoes with cold water. Potatoes are done when you can easily insert a fork through them.
  4. To make the mashed potatoes simply remove the skin of the potato and put it on a bowl. Add butter, salt and pepper and mash them. If you want a bit creamier potato you can add some milk or cream. 
  5. Once the chicken is done all you have to do is serve and enjoy. You can even use the juice from the chicken to make a gravy.
  6. If you want to do the gravy, take the juice out and put on a sauce pan. Let it boil. On a different pan add equal parts of butter and flour. First add butter so it can melt and once is melted add the flour so it can cook. It only takes about 30 seconds to cook. Then add it to the chicken broth to make the gravy.
