Breast N Thighs - Oh My!!

Featured Aphrodisiacs: Honey and Mustard

2 chicken breasts with skin and bone-in
2 chicken thighs, halved through the bone
4 potatoes, quartered
1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces button mushrooms, halved
4 cloves garlic, smashed lightly and peeled (optional)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 450° F. Place the chicken, potatoes, onions, green peppers, mushrooms and garlic in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar, honey, mustard, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add the oil and whisk until well combined. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine. Make certain the breast and thighs are laying skin-side up and well coated with the glaze. Bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked and well-browned and the vegetables are tender, about one hour. Stir several times during the baking process, but making certain the chicken remains skin-side up so they brown well. Serve immediately and as always....ENJOY!
