This dish warms up the house with yummy smells. For a leaner version, remove the chicken skin. I like to leave it on for more flavor. —nannydeb

This sounds really tasty with the roasted chicken and veggies combining with the thyme - and I love that it's so simple - pop it in the oven and read until dinner is ready - perfect!!!!
