ingredients
organic bone-in chicken breasts (skin-on too)
organic jewel yams
1 medium organic yellow onion
1 medium organic tomato
fresh oregano
salt, pepper, cumin, and dried oregano
1 tsp olive oil
preparation
rub the olive oil over the bottom of a medium-sized roasting pan
slice the onion into 1/2 inch rings and place on the bottom of the pan
place the chicken breasts (bone in and skin on) on top of the onion rings
peel and cut the yams into wedges and place around the chicken
generously sprinkle the dried oregano and cumin over the chicken
sprinkle salt and pepper over everything, quantity to taste
(you can also rub these spices under the chicken skin, but it's not necessary, keep it simple)
slice the tomato and place the slices on top of the chicken
wash the fresh oregano, dry it with a towel, and chop, then sprinkle over chicken and yams
cooking
I set my oven to 350 degrees, convection bake
place the pan in the oven uncovered and cook until the chicken is not pink inside but still juicy
in my oven this takes about 1 hour
after cooking for 45 minutes, I periodically scrape and pour the drippings over the chicken
serving
serve with your choice of brown rice, white rice, or quinoa.
I hope you enjoy this meal as much as we do. you can cook more chicken and yams than required and have it for the next day's lunch or dinner. Enjoy! Andrea.

Oh this looks sooooo delicious Andrea! I just got home from work and am so hungry! Well, not something I can whip up yet tonight I'm afraid but certainly this recipe is worthy of a try this weekend. Love the combination of flavors...and cooked right with the yams would make this tasty indeed!
Hi Trish, thanks for your comment! It is very yummy, and very easy to whip up, but you need the ingredients on hand of course. Let me know how it goes for you, and if you like it!
This looks like a meal that anyone would love, gluten-free or not! I love the spices on the chicken and sweet potato pairs well with anything.
