Searching the grocery aisles for dinner inspiration yesterday, I found something called "Recipe Inspirations" . That's what McCormick calls its packet of premeasured spices enclosed with a recipe card. The presentation is appealing and it I decided to plunk down $1.99 for the "Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes." I normally would consider that too expensive for small amounts of spices that I could combine myself, except that I didn't have the rosemary. When I added up the cost of the packet, the chicken and the potatoes, I spent slightly less that I was going to spend on a ready-made roasted chicken with no potatoes. And I made it myself!
Check out their web site for lots of ideas, including 30 minute meals and meals for under $3. There is information on spices for health and also a recipe finder using ingredients you have or want to use. I have read that McCormick herbs and spices are gluten free.
Rosemary Roasted Chicken with Potatoes
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning Packet Ingredients:
2 tsp McCormick® Paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Rosemary Leaves, finely crushed
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Black Pepper, Coarse Ground
1 teaspoon McCormick® Minced Garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
Here's the recipe from the seasoning packet I bought, slightly different from the recipe on the McCormick site (linked in the title) which uses spices and seasonings from your own kitchen.
My comments are in blue.
McCormick's description: This one-pan supper is delicious served simply with a fruit or vegetable salad alongside. Paprika and rosemary deliver a double hit of antioxidant power.
My take: Easy, quick, and delicious!

1 teaspoon Sea Salt from McCormick® Sea Salt Grinder (I used regular salt)
6 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed (about 2 pounds)
1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix oil, paprika, rosemary, sea salt, pepper and garlic powder in large bowl. This will look like paste. Add chicken and potatoes; toss to coat well. Arrange chicken and potatoes in single layer on foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray. I used a Pampered Chef pan with no pan preparation.
2. Roast for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, turning potatoes occasionally. I forgot to turn the potatoes and it turned out fine.
