Throw A Bunch Of Crap In a Pan and Call It Dinner

I am not a food blogger.
I don't take ridiculously professional photos.
That being said, tonight's blog is a one pan chicken recipe that I make regularly.
 
My husband and I both work full time.
If dinner has too many steps, I'll often opt for Ramen and sandwiches.
Andy's a big man and needs big man dinners, so I often cook meals with dishes in mind that will fill him up. This usually does that.
 
Without further ado, My One-Dish Baked Chicken
 
You will need:
Some chicken.
We like to use drumsticks. The dark meat tends to dry out less quickly and you can get an 8-10 pack for around 3 dollars at Aldi or your local grocery store.
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup.
1 Onion- sliced into rings
1 cup of water
Salt
Pepper
Italian Seasoning
mushrooms or any additional veggies if desired.
First grab a rather large glass, and your large bottle of wine. Drink a large portion of said wine, and set to work.
 
Preheat your oven to 350ish.
 
  • Spray a 13x9 pan or a reasonable amount of olive oil in the bottom and turn it around until the pan is coated.
  • Correlate the pieces of chicken like :  [PdPd]<= A pan of chicken.
  • Evenly distribute the cream of chicken soup across the chicken.
  • Fill the can up with water and dump it into the pan. This gets the excess out of the can and simultaneously saves you dishes.
Drink more wine.
 
Layer the onion across the top along with any other veggies you would like to add. We like mushrooms, peppers and zucchini.
Evenly distribute salt, pepper and Italian seasoning across everything.
Place in the oven for about 45 minutes. Pull out, check your chicken, flip and season this side lightly.
 
Drink...er.. more wine or something.

 Place your chicken back in the oven for another 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. If you're faithfully following instructions and the wine is beginning to get to you, have your significant other check your chicken too. Just in case.
We ate ours with a large serving of broccoli but anything green will do.
 

The finished product.
Enjoy!
