Roast Chicken Quarters with Potatoes and Tomatoes Dinner Recipe

Roast Chicken Quarters with Potatoes and Tomatoes

Few meals are as comforting as chicken roasted on a bed of potatoes. If you like dark meat, which is higher in fat than light meat, this is a very healthy way to prepare it. Juices from cherry tomatoes and fresh citrus keep the meat moist and imbue it with flavor. You and your boo might find yourselves eating it right out of the pan.

This succulent chicken recipe is packed with antioxidants and takes just 20 minutes to prep. Chicken quarters are the whole leg with thigh and drumstick (or the breast with backbone and wing). If you like dark meat, this is a very healthy and flavorful way to prepare it. Try the same recipe with smaller cuts of chicken and omit the first 15 minutes of cooking time.
