Sunday Roasted Chicken with Veggies

Ingredients:

  • 1 3-4 lb chicken
  • Bunch fresh rosemary
  • Bunch fresh dill
  • Bunch fresh parsley
  • 1 large lemon
  • 1 parsnip
  • Small bunch organic or garden variety carrots
  • 3 stalks celery
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 bulb garlic
  • 1 turnip
  • 1 lb brussel sprouts
  • 1 lb baby red and yukon potatoes
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh cracked pepper
  • Olive oil

To Make:

  1. Preheat oven to 475
  2. Wash all the veggies but don’t peel. Cut onion and shallot in half and arrange into the corners of a baking dish or roasting pan. Cut the celery, turnip, and parsnip into large chunks and scatter into the dish. Break up the garlic but don’t peel it and throw the whole lot in with the other veg. Arrange half the carrots into the dish, whole or cut in half depending on size. Drizzle veg with olive oil. 
  3. Place your chicken on a separate cutting board and remove any pieces from the inner cavity.
  4. Stuff the inner cavity of the chicken with a bunch of fresh dill, some chopped parsley, and a good handful of fresh rosemary. 
  5. Pierce the lemon on all sides with a tip of a knife and stuff into the chicken. 
  6. Season all sides very well with salt and pepper and a few pinches of dill. Rub all over the chicken with olive oil.
  7. Place chicken on top of the veggies in the baking dish and pop into the oven. Turn the heat down to 400 and roast for 1.5 hours. 
  8. Half way through cooking, take chicken out of the oven and spoon over it the juices and oils at the bottom of the pan. Also add 1/4 cup of water the dish so the veggies don’t dry out. Put it back in the oven to finish. 
  9. On a sheet tray arrange the rest of the carrots, all the brussel sprouts cut in half, and the baby potatoes cut in half. Season with salt and pepper, some fresh rosemary stalks, and drizzle over with olive oil. Use your hands to coat all the veggies with the seasoning and olive oil. (Side Note: Cut off the ends of the brussel sprouts before halving them if you don’t want to end up with the most horrific gas all night!)
  10. Pop veggies into the oven until golden brown and cooked through, about 45-55 mins. 
  11. When chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. 
  12. Carve the chicken and serve with roasted veggies, fresh bread, and a glass of wine. 
  13. Enjoy!

Chicken Maryland Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs with bones and skin 1/2 cup white wine 1 small onion 2 ears of corn 2 bananas 4 strips of bacon Small bunch fresh mint 1 12 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained 1 cup half and half or heavy whipping cream Chili flakes or 1 fresh red chili pepper Salt and pepper Olive oil To Make: Preheat the oven to 350 F Finely dice your onion and cut the corn off the cobs Slice the red chili into thin rounds. Don’t worry about the insides, they’re good. Season each of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides, but more heavily on the skin side.  In a large skillet that will fit all the chicken thighs, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, in the pan on medium-high heat and allow to brown. Do not move the chicken. Cook for 3 minutes until browned. Use tongs to remove the chicken and set aside. In the same pan, add the onions and turn the heat down to medium. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Add in the chili rounds or a pinch or two of chili flakes depending on how spicy you like it. Allow to cook until the onion has softened. About 3 minutes.  Add in the corn and the chickpeas and cook for an additional 1 minute. Then add in the wine and cook it down until there isn’t too much liquid left.  Add in the cream, cook for 1 minute and turn off the heat. Taste to see if it needs any salt.  In a baking dish that will fit the chicken in snuggly, pour in the corn mixture and arrange the chicken thighs on top, with the skin sides facing up. The corn sauce should be all the way up the sides of the chicken but not covering it.  Break the bananas in half and cut those halves in half so you have four half-length pieces. Gently fit them in the baking dish between the chicken and the sides of the dish on each side of the baking dish.  Tear the leaves of the mint off and push them into the corn sauce in between the chicken. You should only use about 8-10 leaves, depending on size.  Arrange a piece of bacon on top of each chicken thigh.  Put the baking dish into the oven for about 25 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through. Serve with a fresh sprig of mint! Enjoy! This is one of my favorite recipes as it combines the sweetness of the corn and bananas with the creaminess of the chickpeas and cream. So good.

Add a little pasta water to loosen the mixture. Serve chicken over the pasta.  Enjoy! This is by far, the best chicken recipe ever! I love this dish so much, I could eat it every day. :)

Chicken Fajitas! (page 38, Food Revolution by Jamie Oliver) Serves 2 This recipe goes really fast so be sure to have everything ready to go! Ingredients: 1 red pepper 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts modified: 1/2 large regular onion because I didn’t have 1 medium red onion 1 teaspoon paprika pinch ground cumin modified: 1 lemon because I had no limes olive oil modified: pita bread because I had no tortilla sour cream modified: homemade salsa = 1 tomato, bunch fresh parsley because I had no cilantro, juice of lemon, teeny tiny bit of olive oil, chili flakes because I didn’t have fresh chili.) To Make: Marinate chicken, peppers, onion in paprika, cumin, salt and pepper, with good squeeze of lemon/lime and lug of olive oil for five mins. Everything is sliced into strips. (Very easy. In fact, I was watching Cities of the Underworld while I made this.) Heat pan on high until it’s very hot. Drop in marinated mix. It starts sizzling really loud. Sounds like a proper kitchen. Do not add any oil or butter. Stir a lot so nothing sticks. It’s done in about five-ten minutes, when chicken is cooked through and peppers are softer. Heat up tortillas or pita bread and serve. I also chopped up the ingredients of the salsa, and mixed a bunch of fresh avocado for make-shift guacamole. Perfect. :) Side note:  Don’t forget to season everything.  Salt and pepper in the chicken mixture, s&p in the salsa, and s&p in the guac.  Just don’t forget or it’ll be strangely bland.  :)
