Baked chicken with potatoes and peppers is a classic European dish that combines tender meat, aromatic vegetables, and a spicy mustard-mayonnaise crust. This dish evokes a cozy family dinner filled with warmth and rich flavor. The chicken, infused with spices and garlic, is baked to a golden crust while the vegetables, including potatoes, eggplants, and zucchinis, become soft and absorb the meat's juices. Baked peppers add a light sweetness and freshness. The dish can be served as a standalone treat or complemented with fresh green salads. It is perfect for both everyday dinners and festive gatherings, leaving pleasant memories of home cooking.

While the chicken is in the oven, cut the vegetables: potatoes, eggplants, and zucchinis into rounds; onions into quarters; peppers into large pieces. Arrange the vegetables on the right and left sides of the dish (it's better to place the potatoes at the bottom so they cook in the juice).
