I usually use chicken thighs for this but you can use chicken breasts or legs if you prefer. The thighs and legs just add that extra fat that makes it taste real good.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
In a cast iron skillet {use any old skillet if you don't have a cast iron one)}:
Coat bottom of pan with olive oil.
Salt and pepper 8 chicken thighs with the skin and bones.
Cook each side in oil for 8 minutes, then remove from pan.
Saute 1 chopped up carrot, onion, and 2 celery in the fat for 10 minutes.
Add 2 sprigs of rosemary. I leave them whole and take them out before serving.
Squeeze 1 lemon into the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the yummy stuff off.
Place the chicken on top of all the vegetables.
Add 2 1/2 cup chicken broth (Homemade Chicken Broth)
Bring to boil.
Put it in the oven for 40 minutes.*
*If you did not use a cast iron skillet you will have to
transfer the whole dish to an oven proof dish.
transfer the whole dish to an oven proof dish.
Put chicken and vegetables over brown rice. Very yummy!

I'll share a recipe with similar flavors that may be great for some of the young mothers you mentor. I call it "carpool chicken" because it requires so little hards-on prep.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a big bowl, combine equal amounts of grainy mustard, white wine and balsamic vinegar. Add in sprigs of rosemary and thyme, and some fresh ground pepper. Toss chicken legs into the bowl to marinate them, then place in a roasting pan or casserole dish. Cut some new potatoes in half and combine with some baby carrots. Combine some of the marinade with some olive oil, toss the veggies in the mixture, and add them to the chicken or place in a separate pan or dish.
Throw everything into the oven, and go do carpool (or take a shower or tend to anything else you need to do for an hour). Test after an hour to see if it's done.
An easy green side dish is pesto spinach. Take some frozen chopped spinach, top with a tablespoon of pesto, and pop in the oven for 30 min.
