Garlic Marinated Chicken and "Grilled" Potatoes

Here's another quick and flavorful recipe from Everyday Food:  Great Food Fast.  We made Garlic Marinated Chicken with Grilled Potatoes.  I put "grilled" in quotes because we are not the type of people who grill year round so we broiled our potatoes.

Since it's just the two of us, we cut the recipe in about 1/3.  We washed and chopped the potatoes in half and created a foil pocket.  We stuck them in the oven to broil and began to marinate the chicken.

We allowed our chicken to marinade for about 15 minutes- the original recipe says 10-30 minutes.  We also roasted asparagus, like Martha calls for, but we simply roasted the asparagus with EVOO, salt and pepper.

The chicken and asparagus game together quickly.  We ended up microwaving our potatoes because after over 30 minutes of broiling, the potatoes were crispy looking but still very, very raw.  It is interesting to think the potatoes would have been done in less time and at a slower temperature...

Aside from the potatoes, this meal was a huge success!  Again, the chicken was moist and full of flavor. We ate the chicken and asparagus before the potatoes were done.
