Easy Chicken and Veggies

We had company over for dinner last night, and since we have lived at our new apartment for 4 days, we have yet to go grocery shopping. I had NO IDEA what to make for dinner, so of course I went with the 'make it up as you go along' plan.
This was an extremely easy dish with a preparation time of 15 minutes and a cook time of "stick it in the oven and forget about it until everyone is hungry". But really, it was about 1.5 hours.

Ingredients: 
Olive Oil
Mustard
Chopped garlic
Parsley
Rosemary
Salt 
Pepper
Butter
Chicken thighs 
Potatoes
Baby carrots


The amounts you'll need really depend on the quantity you'd like to cook. I used a 9x13x4 pan and it was enough to bake 7 chicken thighs, half a bag of baby carrots, and an entire bag of small round potatoes. I hardly ever measure anything I cook, so I couldn't even begin to tell you measurements, sorry!

Steps:
1. Lay out chicken thighs on pan
2. Cover with quartered potatoes and baby carrots
3. Mix all remaining ingredients in a bowl
(melt the butter first, then add the rest)
4. Spoon mixture onto chicken, and use the remaining to drizzle over the potatoes and carrots. 
5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 1.5 hours.

6. If you wish, uncover and bake for 15 more minutes to add an extra crisp to the potatoes. 

It was a great meal, and very inexpensive. It fed 5 people (plus leftovers) on less than $20 worth of groceries. Definitely a quick fix to add to my dinner list :)
