Ingredients

• DRAPER VALLEY FARMS® Bone In Split Chicken Breasts 1.25–1.5 lb total (2 split breasts) $4.49/lb
• Organic Leeks (bunch) 1 large leek (or 2 small), cleaned and sliced $5.49/lb
• Simple Truth Organic® Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (or Whole White Mushrooms) 8 oz $4.79 (8 oz)
• Organic Garlic (or Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs) 2 cloves, minced $2.79/3 ct
• Lemon 1/2 (1 tbsp juice)
• Olive oil 1 tbsp
• Chicken stock or water 1/3 cup
• Salt, black pepper, dried thyme (or rosemary) to taste (about 1 tsp thyme)

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Pat chicken dry; season generously with salt, pepper, and thyme.
2. In a roasting pan or sheet pan with edges, toss leeks and mushrooms with olive oil, pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread into an even bed.
3. Nestle chicken on top of the veg (skin-side up). Add stock/water to the pan (keeps it moist and makes a light pan juice).
4. Roast 30–40 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F and veg is tender. If skin isn’t browned, broil 1–2 minutes at the end (watch closely).
5. Rest chicken 5 minutes. Stir garlic into the hot pan juices/veg for 30 seconds (residual heat cooks it), then add lemon juice; taste and adjust seasoning.
6. Serve chicken over the leek-mushroom mixture with the light pan juices spooned over.
