Ingredients 

  • 1 4-5 pound chicken without giblets, quartered*
  • 1 1/2 pounds gold potatoes cut into wedges
  • 2-3 medium carrots sliced (optional)
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup 8 oz crushed tomatoes, canned or fresh
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, and onions to your baking pan. Make sure that you use a large enough baking pan so that all of the vegetables are arranged in a single layer. Make wells where you will be placing the chicken, and then add the chicken to the pan.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over all of the ingredients. Then, add the crushed tomatoes and top with cinnamon, black pepper, and salt. Use your hands (or two large spoons) to mix everything together. Make sure that all of the potatoes and chicken are coated with the oil/tomatoes.
  • Place the baking pan into the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender. Check to make sure the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees F before removing from the oven.
  • Serve hot.

Notes
