Economical Baked Christmas Dinner

Ingredients

• 4 potatoes, quartered
• 2 cups white mushrooms, whole
• 6 chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup baby carrots

Marinade

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Tbsp canola oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 Tbsp fresh chopped herbs, (cilantro or parsley)
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• ½ tsp ground paprika

Instructions

• In a small bowl, combine mayo, butter, oil, herbs and garlic.
• In a separate small bowl, combine salt, pepper, chili powder and paprika.
• Note: I like to par boil my veggies first.
• Cut the potatoes into even sizes so they cook thoroughly, about 2.5cm. Rinse potatoes and pat dry.
• Add the chicken, mushrooms, potatoes and carrots to a baking casserole dish.
• Pour the mayo mixture over the ingredients, mix and coat evenly. Season with half of the seasoning prepared. Mix.
• Season with remaining seasoning and toss again.
• Bake in a preheated oven to 200°C, uncovered (40-50 minutes, longer if necessary).
• Take the juices from the bottom of the dish and pour over all of the ingredients. Enjoy!
