Judy's Savory Chicken in a Bag 🍗🥕

This hassle-free recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or weekend dinners with friends! The convenient oven cooking bag locks in moisture and flavor, making the chicken juicy and tender while infusing the vegetables with delicious seasoning. Serve it over hot cooked rice for a complete meal that's sure to please everyone at the table! 🍽️✨

Ingredients

Main Dish

1 oven cooking bag
2½ to 3 lb. whole chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, partially thawed
¼ cup water
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
3 cloves garlic, peeled but whole
Serving suggestion: Hot cooked rice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the cooking bag according to the package directions to ensure safe cooking.
Combine all ingredients except the rice in the bag. Shake well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly with the onion soup mix.

🥡 Make sure to seal the bag properly and pierce it as instructed—this allows steam to escape, helping the chicken and veggies cook perfectly!

Arrange the bag in a 13x9-inch baking pan, placing the chicken pieces in a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Serve: Carefully open the bag (beware of hot steam!) and arrange the chicken and vegetables over a bed of hot rice. Discard the garlic cloves before serving.

🌾 Feel free to add any of your favorite vegetables—bell peppers, broccoli, or zucchini work wonderfully!

Tips & Tricks

Meal Prep: This dish can be prepped up to a day in advance! Just refrigerate the bagged ingredients and pop it in the oven when you're ready to cook.
Leftovers: Great for lunch the next day! Try shredding the leftover chicken over a salad or using it in a wrap.
Flavor Boost: Add a splash of soy sauce or your favorite marinade to the bag for an extra kick of flavor.

Variations

Low-carb: Pair it with cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for a lighter option.
Herb Infusion: Toss in some fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary before sealing the bag for a delightful aroma.
Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick! 🔥

Enjoy your delicious and easy Chicken in a Bag — it's a home-cooked meal without the fuss! 🥳🍚
