Notes

  • Nutritional information is calculated automatically and may not be correct. Please calculate based on your own serving sizes. 
  • Do not add too much chicken broth. The amount you will need will vary based on the size of baking dish or sheet pan you use. Too much will cause the vegetables and bottom of your chicken to be soggy. 
  • You may add other vegetables without changing the taste of the recipe. Other additions may include: celery, Brussels sprouts, and green beans.
  • You may need more olive oil to cover the entire chicken and vegetables. The amount will be based on the size of your chicken and how many vegetables you use.
  • Set the giblets aside and cook them later. You can chop them and add them to a chicken giblet gravy if you wish. Otherwise, dogs love them.
