Roasted Chicken

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Roasted Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Insert the garlic cloves, rosemary, and lemon halves into the cavity of the chicken.

  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 occasionally with the drippings.

  4. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

  2. 6

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.

  4. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add the garlic butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 9

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the carrots. Chop them along with the zucchini and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 10

    Toss the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.

  3. 11

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven with the chicken for the last 20-25 minutes of the chicken's cooking time, or until tender.
