        One Pan Chicken Leg Quarters with Potatoes and Carrots

        Baked Chicken and vegetables that are saturated with taste that drips from the delicious broth infused ingredients. My favorite part is how simple this is to make ahead of time and reheat for later use. However, I do prefer fresh from the oven because each ingredient still has a unique flavor and texture that sort of diminishes later. But the sweet combination that the stew produces after reheat is pretty darn good also, so you decide and let me know which way you enjoyed yours. We like our hearty meals around here and this one went pretty fast. Fall off the bone tender meat and soft warm vegetables is a nice meal. Recommend adding French bread or corn bread to the table just because you may want to dip your bread in the juices.
