Chicken with oven-baked potatoes in a bag

To prepare a delicious and healthy meal, we start by carefully cleaning the vegetables. Choosing the vegetables is essential, so we can use potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, or onions, depending on everyone's preferences. After cleaning them, we cut them into small cubes, and we can julienne the onion if we have a culinary partner who appreciates the aesthetic aspect of the dishes. If you want to avoid discussions, you can chop the onion finely, so it is only visible to you.

Once we finish cutting the vegetables, we mix them well in a large bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste. This vegetable mix will add a special flavor and texture to our dish. It is important to mix them evenly so that each piece is well-seasoned.

Next, we take care of the chicken. We wash the meat well under a stream of cold water, then cut it into suitable pieces. Salt and pepper are essential here, so we add them generously, according to our preferred taste. After seasoning, we coat the chicken with 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and a tablespoon of mustard, mixing the ingredients well so that each piece of meat is evenly covered. This mixture will contribute to a delicious and juicy crust.

Now we prepare the baking bag. In the first layer, we place the vegetables, ensuring they are evenly distributed. On top, we add the marinated chicken, which will allow the juices to penetrate the vegetables during baking. It is important to tie the bag well so that the steam stays inside, helping to cook the dish evenly.

We put the bag in the preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius and let it bake for 50 minutes. During this time, the aroma will fill the entire kitchen, and the vegetables and meat will combine into a delight. Finally, we take the bag out of the oven, being careful of the hot steam that will escape upon opening.

Serve the dish warm, either as a main course or alongside a fresh salad. This recipe is not only simple but also offers the opportunity to experiment with different combinations of vegetables and spices, adapting it to personal tastes. Bon appétit!
