Thursday Dinner: Roasted chicken, spring onion, and red potatoes

This is one of those quick, easy recipes that are perfect for weekday dinners. Nice thing about it is, everything can be cooked together in the oven. Spring onions are sweet and great for roasting.

I placed chicken drums, spring onion (cut into quarters), and red potatoes (cut into quarters) in a casserole and coated them with salt, pepper, and olive oil. They were baked with 2 springs of fresh thyme (rosemary would be good as well) for 40-45 minutes in a 375 degrees oven.

I think it would have been better if I seared the chicken and potatoes before putting them in the oven. That would have created nice crust and cut down the baking time too. If you prefer white meat, you can use chicken breast rather than drums.
