Roasted Chicken

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Roasted Chicken

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the chicken

    Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken

    Rub the chicken with olive oil, and season it inside and out with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken and place the lemon halves inside the cavity.

  4. 4

    Roast the chicken

    Place the chicken on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters.

  2. 6

    Boil the potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 7

    Mash the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Mixed Salad

  1. 8

    Prepare the vegetables

    Wash and dry the mixed greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

  2. 9

    Assemble the salad

    In a big bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.

  3. 10

    Dress the salad

    Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss gently to combine.
