A One Pan Meal

I have been harboring a secret.

I have had this weird pan in my foot for about 2 months 

and I didn't want anyone to tell me that I couldn't

wear my Vibram 5 Fingers anymore, so I

just kept ignoring it.

Coupled with the usual weird twisty feeling I always have in my knee and

a tightness in my hip, my acupuncturist convinced me to go see

Steve Curtin, a well known Osteopath in Blue Hill

Guess what?!  It isn't the shoes!!

My whole right side is twisted from standing funny for EVER

in restaurants.  And.  He can fix me!!

I came home elated, tired and hungry.

I wanted a really quick, easy, delicious comforting meal

I had defrosted some chicken breasts that morning,

 had some sweet potatoes, 

a few shallots (could easily have been red or white onion)

 and broccoli all in the house,

so I layered them in a roasting pan, seasoned them

with salt, pepper and some rosemary - I used two sprigs of

fresh, but you could use 1 teaspoon of dried -

 I drizzled it all with a bit of olive oil

Then, I sprinkled the chicken breasts with salt, granulated garlic and a bit of dried thyme

I browned them nicely in a skillet (whoops that is technically two pans)
and laid them on top of the veggies

To add a bit of moisture to the pan as it would roast I 

threw about a 1/2 cup of white wine into the skillet and did a bit of deglazing.

It could have been water or even orange juice, whatever you have on hand.

I drizzled this over everything, hit it with a few splashes of red wine vinegar

 and popped it into a 375 degree oven

I basted it every 10 or 15 minutes to make sure everything was

staying moist and cooked it a total of 35 minutes, until the potatoes

were tender and the chicken temped at 165 degrees.

I let it sit for 15 minutes and voile, dinner was on the table

One pan, lots of flavor and not a ton of effort.

Perfect

And, my foot doesn't hurt today

Enjoy!
