Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the halved chicken.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken halves on a baking sheet, skin side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.

  3. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    While the chicken is roasting, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Toss the mixed vegetables with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth or water to a boil. Add the uncooked rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before carving. Serve the roasted chicken halves with grilled vegetables and a side of rice.
