  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
For the casserole:
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs (skin removed), thawed
  • ½ of a medium size onion, cut into thin rounds or slices
  • 1 large carrot, sliced into ⅛ inch rounds
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 large white sweet potato, peeled and sliced into ⅛ inch rounds(for a keto version, use any other non starchy vegetable)
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
RecipeInstructions
  1. Add all marinade ingredients into a small glass jar/bottle. Screw the lid and shake vigorously until you get an emulsion. Keep this aside.
  2. Place the chicken things in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade all over the chicken. Cover the bowl and keep aside at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, slice all the vegetables.
  4. Pre-heat the oven to 400 F.
  5. Take a glass casserole dish (9 inches by 13 inches) and grease it with the avocado oil.
  6. Place all the vegetables in the dish spread out evenly in a single layer.
  7. Now place the chicken thighs and place them one by one over the vegetables. Pour all of the marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  8. Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through completely.
  9. Remove the dish from the oven and cover it with Al foil and let rest at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can place the dish under the Broiler additionally for 3-5 minutes to get some char marks on the chicken.
Some other vegetables that will work in this recipe are cauliflower, zucchini, regular potatoes.
