    Baked Chicken and Vegetables 

    There's a beautiful story behind my chicken and vegetables casserole recipe and it has a special place in my heart. Here you go!

    The youngest of my four sons has had more than his fair share of medical issues since he was a little baby.

    Over the years he has had nine surgeries, Code Blues, life-threatening situations and a life-saving kidney transplant.

    As a seventeen year old high school senior, Bryan received the call that would change his life forever and give him the gift of life. There was a kidney for him that was a match!

    We packed a suitcase and headed off to the hospital. On our way we called his three older brothers and his dad to let them all know.

    We also said a prayer for the donor and his family. Our joy was their sorrow and our hearts and prayers went out to them.

    As we waited in the emergency room for the kidney to arrive, one by one Bryan's brothers and dad all arrived too, and we surrounded him at his bedside with love, and prayers for the donor and his family.

    The transplant was a success!

    The day Bryan was discharged from the hospital we arrived home and there soon was a knock on the door.

    It was my co-worker and friend Richie with a delicious chicken vegetable casserole in hand. And let me tell you, he brought us enough to feed our large family and more, along with wine, of course! Richie wanted us to have a delicious family dinner together to celebrate Bryan’s gift of life.

    As we ate Richie's delicious chicken oreganata casserole, we celebrated the precious gift of life, the generous gift of food, the gift of a loving family and the gift of good friends. 

    Baked chicken and vegetables oreganata, an easy recipe of baked chicken and potatoes and carrots seasoned with oregano and lemon, will surely become your newest comfort food.

    If you are looking for another oven roasted chicken recipe, be sure to try our roasted lemon thyme chicken too!

    Bryan & Leigh on their wedding day

    Ok, on with our story. Yes, there's more!

    Several years later we were honored to met the Walkers, Bryan's donor family, at the NJ Sharing Network 1st Annual Walk in 2011. We meet every year and walk and/or run together in memory of Bobby and to raise awareness for organ donation. They truly are our extended family.

    Eight years after his transplant Bryan is healthy, happy and an amazing young man.  And one week ago today he married Leigh, the love of his life.

    We celebrated this happy time with family, friends and our extended family, his donor family, to whom we are eternally grateful for the gift of life.

    donating to NJ Sharing network in Bobby's honor

    Bryan's donor, Robert Walker Jr., was a true presence throughout the day. Bryan and Leigh honored Bobby at their wedding by making a donation in his honor and memory to the NJ Sharing Network.

    Please consider being an organ donor. It truly changes lives.

    2018 Update: Bryan and Leigh welcomed their sweet daughter Zoey to their family.

    2022 Update: Bryan just celebrated his 17 year transplant anniversary!
