# How to Prepare:

Set oven to 190°C for even and thorough cooking.

Grease a large oven-safe baking dish with olive oil, ensuring the base is evenly coated.

Pour chicken broth gently around the arrangement, ensuring even distribution without washing off seasonings.
06 -
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

For crispier skin, leave the chicken uncovered for the final 10 minutes of baking.

Enhance flavor and nutrition by adding vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, or spinach.
03 -
For a mild sweetness, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the sweet potatoes before baking.
