How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Slice the root vegetables into pieces about 1/ 4 inch (or less) wide and arrange in the bottom of baking pan.
- Chop the onion coarsely.
- Arrange the chicken over the vegetables. (The onion could go in the bottom of the pan, or be sprinkled on top to brown.)
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the chicken. (You can tuck the squeezed lemon into the pan for a more intense lemon flavour)
- Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder and pepper.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the chicken.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional hour.

- **Check that the root veg are cooked - if not, the dish may need a bit more cooking time.
