Directions
- Place a clean chicken into roasting pan. After vegetables and garlic are chopped, mix them all together in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil , salt, and pepper. Scatter them around the chicken that is in the pan. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the chicken and salt and pepper to taste. Place into a 425 degree preheated oven and bast after the first 30 minutes and then bast every 10-15 minute after that.

February 1, 2009There are so many sides that you can add to this dish. Jasmine rice, Roasted or mashed potatoes. These go great with the floavors of the roasted onion and carrots. I like to also roast asparagus or saute them for a few minutes with olive oil, garlic, s&p. I never steam asparagus. I like the crispy snap.
