Follow The Directions

01

Step
37 mins

In a large casserole dish, combine the quartered potatoes and chicken breasts. Drizzle evenly with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle generously with minced rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Marinating time: 30+ minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Once preheated, remove the casserole dish from the refrigerator and sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly over the chicken and potatoes. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
1 hrs

Bake the covered dish in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the oven, add the sliced black olives and mushrooms, distributing them evenly throughout. Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. (Bake time: 60 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, carefully transfer them to a serving platter. Pour the flavorful pan juices over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the casserole dish before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, to customize the dish to your liking.
If you prefer a crispier potato, you can parboil them for 5-7 minutes before adding them to the casserole dish.
Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) for safety.
