Roast Chicken with Apples, Leeks, and Rosemary image

This is a favorite of mine, my friend introduced us to it. It's really simple, very few ingredients, and tastes amazing! So easy, low prep time, and great flavor results. Mmmmm. I serve this with couscous and you can even chop some of the apples and rosemary up from the dish and mix into the couscous.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 leeks, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise
4 small crisp apples, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 small sprigs fresh rosemary
salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
8 small chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut leeks in half crosswise and place in a large roasting pan. Add apples, olive oil, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Season chicken with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and nestle, skin-side up, among vegetables.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, and apples and leeks are tender, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken from a previous meal and I used it to make this dish. It turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the vegetables were tender and delicious.
