MCC’s Registered Dietitian Susie has challenged our staff to get outside and walk this month! The idea is to walk outside every day for the rest of this month, whether it’s a walk around the block or a hike through the forest, and enjoy the natural beauty around us.
 
Join us! Let’s get out there and walk our world!

April’s Recipe of the Month was chosen by our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Susie because it’s easy, healthy, and family-friendly! If you put the chicken in the marinade before work/school, your dinner will be ready in a flash in the evening.  #recipeofthemonth
Oven-Baked Chicken with Potatoes
Serves 3
Ingredients
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
6 chicken drumsticks
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the seasoning (½ tsp salt, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp dried thyme, ¼ tsp smoked paprika, and ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper). Add 2 tbsp olive oil and mix well.
Pat dry chicken drumsticks and transfer to a gallon size zip-lock bag. Pour in the seasoning mixture, close the bag, and shake it to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400F.
Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces and put into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt to your taste. Place the chicken drumsticks on top of the potatoes.
Bake at 400F for about 40-50 minutes or until the chicken internal temperature reaches at least 165-170F and the potatoes are cooked through and tender. Enjoy!
