Ingredients

- 2 lbs chicken bone in or bone out, skin on or skin off
- 4 cups Soft Vegetables optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Remove the baking bag from the packet. Open the seasoning packet side of the package and set aside.
- Place the chicken pieces in the baking bag set into the 9x13 baking dish.
- Sprinkle with 90% of the seasoning mix. If using veggies, place those on top of the chicken and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix. Close the bag loosely with the enclosed tie.
- Place the entire dish in the oven and bake for an hour (start with 25 minutes if using boneless chicken, check temp and remove when internal temp is 165).
- After an hour, check internal temp and remove when reaches 165. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Open bag by slicing down the center (or removing the closure). Serve chicken hot.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Use bone in chicken, it gives more flavor, cooks for the right time. If you choose to use boneless skinless adjust cooking time down. Be sure to use a Thermoworks thermometer and cook to internal temperature of 165.
- Bag directions calls to add 4 cups of veggies. You’ll want to add a softer veggies like green beans or peas. Harder veggies like potatoes or carrots will need to be par cooked to soften. Don’t add more than 4 cups or it won’t get done in the allotted time.
- If you like a gravy, use the McCormick gravy packet. It's a great flavor together.
- Use a decent 9 x 13 pan or a baking sheet with rim. It's messy otherwise. You can store the dish with the bag in it if you are in a rush. No harm.
- You can freeze the chicken once it’s cooked, use freezer safe package, remove the air and store in freezer up to 3 months.
- It Lasts covered for 5 days in the fridge.
- reheat covered individual pieces in the microwave or reheat pieces in the air fryer or at 350 in standard oven.
- Use the entire seasoning packet on your chicken.
- The bag and all the seasoning are in the packet as is the little tie.
- goes great with mashed potatoes, broccoli, peas, carrots or a green salad.
- An easy meal would be to pick up some premade mashed potatoes and a salad and the Texas toast from the freezer section.
