Delicious Mix Skillet Chicken & Potatoes
This recipe is dead simple and creates an incredibly satisfying one-skillet dinner. After easy prep (season chicken, slice onions and potatoes), this dish requires one more step. Halfway through the cooking process, the chicken is flipped to ensure crisp skin on both sides–and the potatoes are stirred so they’re evenly coated with the pan juices. Our Delicious Mix blend infuses the chicken, potatoes and onions with an incredible aroma.

If you have fresh herb sprigs on hand (e.g. rosemary, oregano, thyme, or parsley) feel free to tuck them into the cavity while the chicken roasts.
Ingredients
-
One 4- 4 ½ pound Chicken
-
2 pounds new potatoes, halved
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
¼ cup Delicious Mix, divided
-
1 large lemon (preferably organic)
Directions
Rinse the chicken, remove any bits from the cavity and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Delicious Mix into the cavity; use your fingers to evenly coat. Season the exterior of the chicken with 2 tablespoons of Delicious Mix–use your fingers to gently distribute the seasonings under the skin of the breast.
Heat the oven to 425 F.
Zest the lemon, then slice it into four quarters.
Place the potatoes and onions in a large cast iron skillet. Drizzle with the olive oil, the remaining tablespoon of Delicious Mix, and the lemon zest, and toss until evenly coated. Place two lemon quarters into the chicken cavity, then place the bird, breast-side down, on top of the potatoes.
When the oven is at temperature, place the skillet in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully transfer the chicken to a plate. Stir the potatoes and onions (scraping up any browned bits) until they’re evenly coated with the pan juices. Use your hands or tongs to carefully flip the chicken and place it–breast-side up–back on top of the potato mixture.
Roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is browned and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 F. Allow the chicken to rest at least 10 minutes, then carve as desired and serve with the potato and onion mixture.
