Got a new roaster pan and am very pleased with the results. It cooks things to perfection.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is an incredible one-pan chicken dinner. The flavors are simple, but amazing. Potatoes are cooked with onions, garlic, and rosemary for a wonderful flavor. Chicken thighs are nestled in and, once baked, tender and juicy. We also loved the earthy flavor of wilted, fresh spinach throughout. With a protein, carb, and vegetable in one dish, this is a great meal for any night of the week. It's hearty and comes together quickly.
