Grandpa's Chicken

This recipe is so simple and so flavorful.  The best thing is how versatile it is, if someone doesn't like one of the ingredients than don't add it for their "portion".

1 small onion  – sliced

2 or more 2 carrots cut into pieces

1 stalk celery cut into pieces

1 small potato quartered

Dried oregano

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Put the veggies in a bowl and sprinkle with about a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper. Add a little oil and toss them around until they are all coated with.  

Add about ¼ cup of water to a roasting pan and add the chicken. Rub a little gravy master over the chicken and then sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil, oregano, garlic and onion powder.  Pour the veggies over the chicken and cover with foil.

Put in the oven and cook for 45 minutes then remove the foil and “push” the veggies down into the pan juices and return to oven, add a little water if needed.  Return to the oven and cook for another 45 minutes.  You can add a can of peas during the last 10 minutes or so.
