I've now had this dinner about 6 times in the last 10 days. It's my new favorite (obviously).

1 chicken thigh
1 bag of Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned stuffing*
1 very small baked potato
1 generous handful of sugar snap peas
butter
Morton's Nature's Seasons**


* Any of their dry stuffing will work fine, or even just breadcrumbs probably
** this is basically a granular collection of salt, pepper, onion, garlic, celery, and parsley. I use it on nearly everything savory.

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a baking dish a little bigger than the chicken thigh, I sprinkle about 1/2-3/4" inch of the stuffing. Then I add probably 2 tablespoons of water (would be chicken stock if I had any open). I plop the thigh on this and then stick a pat of butter between the chicken meat and the skin. And sprinkle it liberally with the Nature's Seasons.
3. I poke holes in the potato with a fork.
4. I stick both of these in the oven for about 45ish minutes. (I think an hour wouldn't kill it.)
5. When the chicken is about done, I put a pat of butter into a small fry pan with another liberal sprinkling of Nature's Seasons. When melted I toss in the peas and saute them on high while I plate the chicken potato and dressing. Add the peas when heated all the way through and dinner is served!!!

NOTE: In case it isn't patently obvious, this is not a dinner for anyone hoping to lose weight and or those who have religious differences with butter. But it totally works for me and is stupid easy and delicious!

Sounds like an easy dinner and something all the kids would love. When it comes to kids it seems like tasting good is all that matters. If it were just for my wife and I, I would try to find some buttery asparagus to have along with it.

OK now I'm hungry.

Thanks for the dinner idea!

I've been roasting a lot of chicken lately. It gets addictive.

You can buy packages of broth that are packaged in 1-cup containers. Perfect for stuff like this!
