Fall foods!

I Love Fall foods, thought you would enjoy this recipe! I had a photo of it, but somehow my darling hubby deleted it! so I'll get a photo next time! haha
Pan Roasted Chicken and Fall Vegetables
Preheat oven to 425.
Takes about 20 mins. to prep, due to chopping!
10-12 small red potatoes (or any kind you like, adjust the amount to this) Cut in 1 inch cubes with skin on
1 Large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 Med. sized onions, cubed
2 Apples (any kind or a large pear), cored and cubed skins on
3-4 Carrots, peeled and sliced in 1/4 " slices
When butternut squash is in season, this is yummy cubed in it, but omit the carrot to make space! 1 C. squash
5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 2" wide fat strips(or buy the chicken tenders and it's done for you! you need about a dozen of the tenders)
1 C. seasoned bread crumbs
4 T. Olive Oil divided
2 cloves garlic
1 t. dried Rosemary, crushed and divided
Wash and prepare veggies, place in large bowl. Pour 2 T. of olive oil over, put in 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 t. Rosemary. Toss and pour in large baking pan, I use a Lasagna dish that's a bit bigger than a 9x13. Place foil over and place in oven.
Mix 1 C. bread crumbs with 2 T. olive oil, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 t. Rosemary in a med. sized deep bowl. Place chicken strips in the breadcrumb mixture all at once and toss until coated with fork. Pull veggies out of the oven, and place breaded chicken strips over the veggies, sprinkle remaining crumbs over exposed veggies.
Bake 45 mins. covered with foil. Remove foil for the last 15 mins. Check veggies for doneness, at the 45 min. mark, if they are a bit hard yet, bake 10 more mins. with foil on.
Served with biscuits and honey makes a great Fall meal!
This dish is even better leftover! You can omit any veggies that you wish or add any, you'll get a feel for the amount that fits in your pan, if you end up with an overflowing pan of veggies just put some in a smaller baking dish for leftovers.
This is a pampered chef recipe I adapted, the original called for summer veggies, red onion, zhuc. or whatever you'd want!
