Are you looking for Reynolds oven bag chicken recipes? This recipe is so easy and delicious! Just add the chicken, vegetables, and spices to the bag and let the oven do the work! This chicken will come out so moist and flavorful!
Summer days are fun and lazy. You don't have the rush to get kids from school and then to after school activities. But those days are over. Now our days are packed with scheduled activities with very little time for important things like dinner.
I hate eating out. It's so bad for you and it can be expensive - but it's quick. My biggest money-saving tip is to make a plan. Know what each day of the week looks like and plan a dinner according to the day's activities.
If you have never made a meal plan - now is the time to start! Once you have done it a few times, it gets easier and you will love having meals ready for you to prepare each night.
My least favorite question is "what's for dinner?". So I have started to make my meal plans and grocery lists every week. Then I put the meal plan on the fridge so the kids can look to see what's for dinner.
I wish I could say that it has made them stop asking that question..but I still get it a few times a week!
If you need help with meal planning, check out all these tips about meal planning. You will save time and money. Plus you can print out a meal planner that lets you meal plan and write your grocery list on the same piece of paper.
Then you tear off the top that has the meal plan and put it on your fridge!
I love meals that you can throw together and bake. It's an all in one meal with very little prep work and it's good for you! Many people think that Reynolds oven bags are just for turkey - but they can make so many more dinners.
This is one of my favorite recipes. You can throw it together really quickly and you have a complete dinner - with potatoes and carrots in about an hour! Plus there is almost no cleanup! Just throw the bag away! No stuck-on food to soak or scrub!

Reynolds Oven Bag Recipes - Chicken With Carrots and Potatoes
- 2-3 pounds of bone-in chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 whole garlic cloves, died
- 1 white onion, quartered
- 4 potatoes, quartered
- 1 16oz bag of carrots
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1 Reynolds Oven Bag
How to make oven bag chicken:
Preheat oven to 350*. Place 2 Tablespoons of flour into the Reynolds Oven Bag, shake around. (This helps prevent the bag from bursting - so it's an important step.)
In a small bowl mix together the salt, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, chili powder, and pepper. Cover the outside of the chicken and under the skin with the spices.
Place the chicken in the bag. Then add the carrots, potatoes, garlic, and onions. Seal the bag with the twist tie provided and place in a large baking dish that is at least 2 inches high on the sides.
Cut six ½ slits in the top of the bag so the steam can escape. Make sure there is enough room in the oven to allow the bag to expand without touching any parts of the oven.
If you are baking chicken thighs bake about 45-50 minutes (180*). If you are baking chicken breasts (170*) it will take about 55- 60 minutes.
To serve, just cut open the top of the bag and enjoy it. Just be careful as the steam escapes. It couldn't be easier to make a quick 1 pan dinner! I love meals that I can throw together and then throw away the mess.
We made this meal at my sister's house and there was plenty for everyone (There were 5 adults and 5 kids!) Even the little kids loved it and kept asking for more vegetables. Even the picky 4-year old that said she hated carrots.

I love cooking with oven bags. They make it much easier to clean things up!
This is one of our favorite meals. I've never tried the Reynolds bag before, but that is going to change. I love the easy clean up.
I have a pack of these bags and I don't think I've ever even used them! I will try this recipe tonight for dinner!
Yum! This looks incredible. I've never used the bags, but I do see a lot about them! I will have to take a boo for them here, and see if I can try them out!
Your dinner looks like it came out great! I need to give these bags a try, I hate cleaning a casserole dish after cooking something in the oven.

Since my hubby does the clean up, I usually don't pay too much attention... but maybe I should play nice and at least try to reduce the amount of mess I make! Everyone could use easy and quick prep, cook and clean-up meals for busy days!
Those are great to use. I have not used oven bags in a while.
That looks so delicious! I also prefer to eat at home. These bags will definitely cut down on the pots & pan mess too!

I too like reynolds oven bags, thanks for sharing this post with Hearth and Soul blog hop.pinning .
Shouldn't the vegs be placed under the roast beef or chicken so that the drippings fall onto the vegs which will create stock as well?
That would work well too - great idea.
Potatoes & carrots were bland tasting. I suggest adding seasoning to them. Roasted Garlic & Herb would be GREAT over all of it.
That's the wonderful thing about this recipe is that you can change out the spices. Thanks for the tip!
if I use boneless chicken breasts does that change the time I cook it?
I haven't tried it with boneless but I would shorten the time a little bit and chop up the carrots and potatoes a little smaller so they cook faster.
Excellent spices to mix - Our family said t was the best ever & saving the recipe.
Yay! I am so happy to hear that!
