If 2020 has taught us anything, it is to find what bring us comfort and joy; what makes us feel whole; what makes our houses our homes. For me, cooking and making meals has always been an expression of love. It comes from my mom and my Grandma – they always cooked something to fix something that was wrong or celebrate something that was good. Have a cold? Minestrone soup. Have a baby? Enough beef stew and pasta e fagioli in the freezer to feed a small country.
As the cooler weather has made its way into New England, comfort food has made a comeback as well. Heavier sauces for our pasta, warmer seasonings for our vegetables, and chili. All the chili. Some heavier meals can be intimidating since they seem to take forever to roast, simmer, and cook all the way through. This recipe is one of my go-to’s for busy weeknights since the chicken and potatoes can be cooked at the same time, and it takes less than an hour for both!
I hope this recipe brings some comfort to your week. Happy cooking, friends!
