One Pot Chicken & Vegetable Bake Recipe.

 One Pot Chicken & Vegetable Bake Recipe.

 

 
 
A comforting, saucy oven-baked meal made from simple, everyday ingredients.
This rustic one-pot dish is all about layering flavor with what you have on hand. Tender seasoned chicken is baked with fresh vegetables, herbs, and melted cheese in a light, savory sauce. It’s wholesome, flexible, and perfect for a cozy meal.
Serves: 3–4
Ingredients:
Base
2 chicken breasts, ( cut into chunks) seasoned
1 tbsp oil (optional)
Vegetables
1 carrot, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 cup cabbage, chopped
1–2 tomatoes, chopped
½ green bell pepper, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 shallot, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1–2 scallions (green onions), chopped
Seasoning
1 tsp green seasoning (Caribbean herb blend)
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
1 bouillon cube
Other
1–1½ cups water or light chicken stock
1–1½ cups grated cheese
Instructions:
1. Preheat
Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Build the Base
Add chicken to the dish, then layer in:
Onion, garlic, shallot, scallions
Green seasoning
Gently mix to coat the chicken.
3. Layer the Vegetables
Add vegetables in layers:
Carrots
Zucchini
A handful of cheese
Bell peppers
Cabbage
Tomatoes
Top with the remaining cheese.
4. Season & Add Liquid
Sprinkle thyme, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and salt evenly over the dish.
Pour in enough water or stock to come about halfway up the ingredients; this creates the signature light sauce.
5. Bake
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes, until:
Chicken is cooked through
Vegetables are tender
Cheese is melted and lightly golden
Sauce is flavorful and slightly reduced
6. Serve
Let rest for a few minutes, then serve warm with the natural sauce spooned over.
Note:
This dish sits between a casserole and a stew; not dry, not overly thick, but perfectly saucy and comforting.
Optional Additions:
Potatoes or sweet potatoes for a heartier meal
A splash of cream for richness.

Baked Chicken

  Baked Chicken | Simple Meal Ideas | Cooking Tips       No recipe today, however this is today's cooking tips and a simple meal idea:   Baking Chicken tips:   Rinse the chicken and pat it dry before baking. Once you remove the chicken from its package, rinse it under cool water in the sink (note: always sanitize your sink with disinfectant afterward). Next, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture will ensure you get extra crispy skin.   To reduce fat and calories, you can skin chicken legs.  Prepare all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400°F.   Spices: I like to use cumin, onion (grated) garlic (grated), paprika, celery powder, cayenne pepper and dried thyme if you have. Please make sure they are fresh! Spices are delicious, but a stale spice can easily ruin a dish. However, you are free to try different spice combinations.   The secret to making them crispy? Don't bake the chi...

One Day at a Time

  One Day at a Time      Working out takes courage and self-motivation. It’s not always about losing weight — for me, it's about staying healthy, strong, and grateful that I can move. Whether it's Taekwondo or Zumba, my goal is the same: to stay active, to keep my energy flowing, and to enjoy the process — no stress, no pressure, just one day at a time. At my age, it may be harder to see quick results, but that doesn’t stop me. I focus on progress, not perfection. Some days, I don’t even want to leave the house — but that's when I give myself that little pep talk, reminding myself why I'm doing this. And once I start, no matter how tough the session gets, I’m always grateful I showed up. Because being able to move, stretch, kick, and dance is a blessing — health is true wealth. Every workout is a victory over excuses, a reminder that I am stronger than my doubts. Progress may be slow, but as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Slowly but surely — I’m building s...
