Quick Roast Chicken & Root Vegetables
Roasted chicken


Ingredients
1 pound turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound baby potatoes, quartered
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 bone-in chicken breasts (12 ounces each), skin and fat removed, cut in half crosswise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried
1 large shallot, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
2 teaspoons red- or white-wine vinegar

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
2. Toss turnips, potatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl. Spread in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place flour in a shallow dish. Transfer 2 teaspoons of the flour to a small bowl and whisk in broth; set aside. Season chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off excess. (Discard any leftover flour.)
4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skinned-side down, and cook until well browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
5. After the vegetables have been roasting for 15 minutes, stir them and place one piece of chicken, skinned-side up, in each corner of the baking sheet. (Set the skillet aside.) Return the vegetables and chicken to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes more.
6. When the chicken and vegetables have about 10 minutes left, return the skillet to medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk the reserved broth mixture again, add to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Stir in mustard and vinegar. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the sauce.
