Herb Butter Chicken

 Sunday night dinner is important. We are gearing up for a grueling school/work week- taking some family time with some good food is a good start.
 This is a one dish meal- veg, starch, and protein! Serve with a slice of whole wheat bread or roll-  add a side salad with sliced strawberries or apples.
This is the compound butter- 1/2 stick softened butter and a TB of fresh herbs (I used the poultry blend)
 Once you clean the chicken up- make a slice into the chicken- you can do the side or front- then squeeze butter in. I use a ziploc bag
 The chicken, potatoes and peppers are sprinkled with kosher salt, pepper, paprika and the extra herb butter- 
1 bell pepper was cut into large chunks
2 red potatoes cut into large dice
Chicken was baked at 375* for 45 minutes- there are a lot of left overs- these chicken breasts were HUGE!
