    Roasted Chicken and Vegetables – Fill your house with the amazing aroma of this wonderfully simple, healthy dinner.

    Don’t you just love meals that you can just pop everything in a dish quickly and walk away knowing that a wonderfully healthy meal will be ready to serve in a couple of hours, all while you lay on the couch with good book. THIS is that meal! One pan roasted chicken and vegetables.

    I know, of course, that my handy slow cooker could have created this yumminess too. But I’m talking about that day that you failed at planning ahead to start that said slow cooker earlier.

    I had bought a chicken that was reduced for quick sale because of the date. Of course, it did get shoved into the back of the refrigerator for 2 more days since I completely forgot about it.

    I placed the chicken in a baking dish, added potatoes, baby carrots and onions. Stuff a peeled onion in the chicken cavity. Then poured about ¼ of melted coconut oil over it all (olive oil would work just fine too). Sprinkled it all with garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Cooked it for 2 hours for one of the easiest dinners ever! While I laid on the couch reading my book.

    INGREDIENTS

    1 whole chicken (5-6 lbs)

    6 potatoes (of your liking)

    ½ lb of baby carrots

    2 medium sized onions, one sliced

    garlic powder

    Onion powder

    Black pepper

    Rosemary or thyme, optional

    DIRECTIONS

    a uncooked whole chicken in a baking dish with potatoes onions and baby carrots

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Rinse chicken and remove the neck, etc. from the cavity (if it’s included)

    Place the chicken in the center of a 9 x 14 baking dish.

    Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks and place them all around the sides of the chicken.

    Then place carrots and slice onion on top of potatoes.

    Pour oil over top of the vegetables and about a tablespoon over the top of the chicken.

    Sprinkle chicken and vegetables with each of the spices.

    Bake for 2.5 – 3 hours (30 minutes pound) or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 180 degrees F with a meat thermometer.

    Remove from oven and serve.

    ENJOY!!

        1-star because recipe wasn’t very thorough. I sprinkled the spices on top and I hope it didn’t ruin it. I wasn’t sure what it meant when she said 2 medium onions, one sliced. So I quartered one and sliced the other even though they all end up the same anyway. I also put half an onion inside of the chicken so I hope it’s not too much onion. In addition, she said 1/4 oil. She didn’t say 1/4 tbsp or cup so I just used 1/4 cup of oil. And she didn’t say what to do if you did want to use a slow cooker/crockpot even though she mentioned it’s possible to use a crockpot instead. I hope it doesn’t matter if the oil reached the chicken because all of the vegetables are for the most part just sitting on top of the chicken.

      We get whole chicken at Sam’s Club and usually one goes to soup and the other gets roasted. We love whole roasted chicken! It’s delicious and surprisingly simple!
