1 tablespoon cooking oil |
3 cups vegetables (sliced or cut 1/2 inch thick, such as carrots potatoes sweet potatoes, rutabaga, turnips and or or p) |
1 large onion, cut into wedges |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter |

Directions:
1. Skin chicken. Place chicken in a lightly greased shallow baking pan; brush with oil. Arrange sliced vegetables and onion around chicken.
2. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour broth over vegetables. Bake in a 425°F oven 20 minutes.
