Rosemary roasted chicken with apples and potatoes - used chicken breast instead of thighs.  This was better than i thought it would be (i didn't pick the recipe).


NOTE: I don't have a broiler pan so I used a rimmed baking sheet, lovely covered the apple/potatoes with foil and cut slits in the foil.  I placed the chicken on top of the foil and cover the chicken with another piece of foil so it wouldn't dry out while baking.   I adjusted the cooking time for boneless breasts.  This turned as a good alternative to a roasting pan.
