Step 1:
How to bake chicken with potatoes, onions and carrots in the oven under foil? Prepare the products. I used chicken thighs, but in general you can bake any part of the chicken. Or take a whole carcass and chop it into pieces. From vegetables I took onions, carrots and celery. Bulgarian pepper, zucchini and eggplant are also well suited. Take the quantity and set of spices according to your taste and availability.
Step 2:
Wash and dry the chicken thighs. Rub them with salt and aromatic herbs. Let them stand for half an hour.
Step 3:
Peel the carrots and cut them into circles. If the carrot is large — in half circles.
Step 4:
Peel the onion and cut into half rings.
Step 5:
Cut the celery into medium pieces.
Step 6:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small slices.
Step 7:
Put the vegetables in a deep bowl, add salt, sprinkle with the selected seasonings. Pour vegetable oil over them and mix well.
Step 8:
Put the vegetables in a baking dish of a suitable size. It is not necessary to lubricate it — the oil is already in the vegetables.
Step 9:
Spread the chicken thighs on top.
Step 10:
Cover the mold with foil, carefully wrapping the edges so that there are no holes left. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the mold in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Step 11:
After the time has elapsed, remove the foil and hold the dish in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until the chicken browns. Serve hot with fresh herbs. Enjoy your meal!

As you can see from the recipe, the process of cooking chicken on a vegetable pillow is not complicated at all. Aromatic herbs can be used any to taste, if desired, add spices. Instead of thighs, you can take hams and cut them into two parts. It is better to take chicken meat not frozen, but fresh. You can also make several punctures in them with a knife before salting the thighs. Due to the fact that we use foil when baking, the meat is steamed well, and it needs to be cleaned shortly before the end of cooking in order for it to be covered with an appetizing brown crust. I often cook this dish for holidays and dinner parties, when the whole family gathers at our table - there is enough for everyone! It can be served with a salad of fresh vegetables, as well as various pickles: cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, etc. Chicken and potatoes are one of my favorite combinations that allows you to cook a delicious and satisfying dish!

Root vegetables are best washed with a brush or a stiff sponge under running water.
