Honey Dijon Chicken and Vegetables

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

This recipe is a perfect dish to serve company, as it is all prepared in one baking dish. If you want to serve another side dish, it goes well with a cheese-based dish or salad. I found it in a cookbook ages ago with easy gourmet recipes. Passive time is marinating time.

This was very good. The dressing helps to ensure that the chicken is moist and well seasoned. I overcrowded the dish and after 1 hour the chicken was not cooked through. The breasts were put on the indoor grill and cooked for a few minutes. This was made for the How does your garden grow? challenge--ZWTIII.

To me this recipe is wonderful and my father thought so also. We did use thighs rather than breasts because we just do not care for the white meat. I thought it was wonderful.

This was easy to prepare, and tasty. My DH especially liked the potatoes that were baked in the pan with the chicken.
