Roasted Chicken

Yellow Rice

Mini Greek Salad

Pita

Method

Roasted Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the whole chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the lemon over the chicken and place the lemon halves inside the cavity along with rosemary.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through the cooking time.

  4. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Yellow Rice

  1. 5

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    Add chicken broth, turmeric, and salt to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Mini Greek Salad

  1. 8

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.

  2. 9

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and olives.

  3. 10

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.

Hummus

  1. 11

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  2. 12

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Pita

  1. 13

    Serve the Pita

    Warm the pita bread in a toaster or oven if desired, and cut each pita in half to create pockets.
