Chicken and Vegetables

4½# cut up chicken

Bake the chicken in an open baking pan at 350° for about an hour.  Season before baking, in any way you like with fresh or dried herbs, re-hydrated onion and pepper flakes, or a light coating of barbecue sauce.  Cook, poking the chicken, then basting it occasionally, until a fork inserted comes right out, very easily.

Serve now, or cool, portion, and put in ziplock bags and refrigerate or freeze, for future use.  This turned out so well as a 'cook-ahead' for future dinners.  I'll have to do this more often.  Today I had this for a late lunch with vegetables.  For just me, I chopped up:



1 med. red potato
1sm. white onion
1 purple shallot
1T butter

1c frozen okra




Saute' the first group of ingredients until the onions are a little translucent.  Add the okra, and a little water if needed, cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes or so.  Add one piece of cooked chicken, cover and continue to heat until the frozen vegetables are cooked and the chicken is heated through. . .Lin
