Sometimes I put potatoes and onions around it in the pan--they catch all the juices and get soggy but chicken-y good. Other times, if I don't want the sog, I do the potatoes separately, and just put some celery, carrots and onions around the chicken to add aroma and keep it supported in the center of the pan.
