- Spray a large (9×13) baking dish with non stick spray.
- Spread potato mixture in dish and bake about 15 minutes.
- Remove baking dish from oven and place the chicken pieces in the dish nestling them down into the potato mixture a bit.
- If desired brush the top of each chicken piece with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked and potatoes are browned.
