• 1 whole chicken fresh

Method

 

1. Start with a whole fresh chicken and season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Peel and chop the carrots.
3. Chop the white potatoes – no need to peel since the skins are thin.
4. Surround the chicken with the carrots and potatoes in the pan.
5. Put it into the oven and walk away while it roasts – the potatoes and carrots cook alongside the chicken and soak up the juices.
6. Roast until the chicken is golden and the vegetables are tender, then dinner is ready all in one pan.

I like to use the white potatoes because the skins are very thin and you don’t need to peel them.

Prepping the Chicken and Vegetables

I start with a whole fresh chicken and season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then I surround it with carrots that are peeled and chopped and potatoes. I like to use the white potatoes because the skins are very thin and you don’t need to peel them. Just chop them up and add them to the chicken.

A One Pan Meal

The best part is that the potatoes and carrots cook right alongside the chicken and soak up all of those delicious juices while everything roasts. By the time it’s done, the chicken is golden, the vegetables are tender, and dinner is ready all in one pan. Nothing fancy, just a really good family dinner. You won’t regret it.
