Additional recipe notes
Marinate the chicken with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, olive oil and salt. A well marinated chicken will ensure that they turn out juicy, moist and delicious. Slice the potatoes into small wedges so they cook evenly on the stove top. If the potatoes are not tender after cooking on the stove top, you can roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 425F.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
