ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables image

I always wanted to learn to make an excellent roasted chicken at home. I tried to find a recipe that is quick and easy, but in the process, I didn't lose the flavors of the chicken. I could not see any that had a few steps or ingredients. This is a recipe I came up with after trying many different methods. I used to buy a lot of rotisserie chicken, but after I learned this easy chicken dish, I don't think I will ever go back. The chicken turns out to be flavorful and juicy. It can be served with the vegetables as a main dish or use it in other recipes that have chicken in them.

Time 10h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 pinch saffron
1 medium lemon, sliced
1 clove garlic, halved
4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large fennel bulb, cut into thin wedges
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken and pat dry. Poke it with a toothpick all over about 40 times. Season with salt and put in the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine melted butter and saffron in a small bowl. Pour over chicken to cover, and season with salt and pepper. Stuff chicken with lemon slices garlic. Tie the chicken legs with kitchen string and tuck legs underneath.
  • Lay carrots, fennel, and onion at the bottom of a roasting pan and rest the chicken on top.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Spoon the juices from the chicken over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil; let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the chicken to absorb all the juices.

ROAST CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES WITH TAHINI



Roast Chicken and Vegetables With Tahini image

This comforting but peppy chicken-and-vegetable combo accommodates any root vegetables that you like or need to use up. Roast them alongside morsels of boneless chicken thighs that have been tossed with ginger, dill and citrus zest. What comes out of the oven needs just a drizzle of straight-from-the-jar tahini: It is nutty, creamy and a great counterpart to sweet root vegetables, for those times you just don't feel like making a sauce. Finish with more herbs and maybe a scattering of red-pepper flakes and sesame seeds, then pile the mixture over whole grains, a salad or sautéed greens, or into a pita. For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for chickpeas, extra-firm tofu or tempeh.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons grated ginger (from a 3-inch root)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped dill or cilantro leaves and stems
1 tablespoon lime or lemon zest (from 1 to 2 fruits)
5 cups 1/2-inch-diced root vegetables (about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled if desired), such as parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, yellow beets, turnips and celery roots
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Black pepper
3 tablespoons tahini, well-stirred
Red-pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the lower third of the oven. On a sheet pan, combine the chicken, ginger and 2 tablespoons of the chopped dill. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon lime zest over the mixture, then toss with your hands to combine. Add the root vegetables, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Toss to coat, then arrange in an even layer.
  • Roast until the vegetables are soft and caramelized and the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (Check the mixture halfway through cooking; if some vegetables are browning too quickly, give them a stir.) If you want the chicken more browned, run the pan under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • Drizzle the tahini over the sheet pan and let sit, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining dill, as well as the red-pepper flakes and sesame seeds as desired. Cut one of the limes into wedges for squeezing over. (Refrigerate the other for another use.)

ONE-PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARROTS



One-Pan Roasted Chicken With Carrots image

From purewow.com . Easy and fast dinner. Roasted carrots are so superior to boiled or steamed. This is a delicious way to get healthy veggies into your diet. I added a beet and I imagine you can add other veggies you might have handy.

Provided by duonyte

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 chicken thighs
1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and trimmed (I used organic rainbow carrots)
1 large onion, peeled and cut into eighths
1 head garlic
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • 2. Arrange the carrots and onion in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. (I also added a baby beet, peeled and halved).
  • 3. Slice the top off a head of garlic; discard the top and place on the tray.
  • 4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables; season with the rosemary, and salt and pepper.
  • 5. Top with the chicken thighs. Rub each thigh with 1 teaspoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • 6. Roast in the oven until the chicken skin is golden and the carrots are tender, 15 to 25 minutes.
  • 7. To serve, divide the vegetables and chicken thighs among four plates.
  • Note: Candidly, I actually had already cooked chicken, which I plopped on top to give you an idea of how this looks, so your chicken will likely look different. The time to cook will depend on how large your carrots are - I halved lengthwise some of the larger ones, mine took about 25 minutes to get tender. Test chicken to make sure it's done - thighs vary so much in size. I made only half the recipe.

ROAST CHICKEN THIGHS WITH VEGGIES RECIPE



Roast Chicken Thighs with Veggies Recipe image

This paleo recipe harnesses the goodness of schmaltz while adding great flavor to the vegetables. Plus, it cooks quite quickly compared to roasting a whole chicken.

Provided by Julie Mayfield

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, patted dry
1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 pound carrots, assorted colors, cut into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2- inch cubes
3 shallots, peeled, root end trimmed off, and quartered
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 475°F.
  • Place the chicken thighs on a rimmed baking sheet skin side up. Scatter the vegetables, shallots, and garlic around the chicken.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over everything, making sure the vegetables are well coated. Sprinkle the rosemary, thyme, and salt over the chicken and vegetables.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring the vegetables about halfway through cooking. Chicken should be cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). If you like your chicken skin extra crispy, put the pan under the broiler set to high for about 5 minutes.
  • Any heartier vegetables (butternut squash, parsnips, etc.) would work well with this dish, though we happen to love the ones here. You could use faster- cooking ones like broccoli or cauliflower or even summer squash- but wait to add them until the chicken is about halfway cooked. We like our veggies crispy and browned, so keep that in mind. Pork chops would also work fine here- the cooking time may increase somewhat depending on thickness, and unless you choose particularly fatty chops, you won't have as much drippings to bathe your vegetables in.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h33m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 roasting chicken (2-3 lbs)
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic
1 bunch fresh thyme
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
5 carrots, peeled and sliced thick
3 parsnips, peeled and sliced
3 yellow onions, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Put the carrots, parsnips and onions in the bottom of a big roasting pan. Season with salt and pepper, and add to that the 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
  • Then, remove the contents from the cavity of the chicken.
  • Slice the top off of the whole head of garlic, and put that, the halved lemon, and the whole bunch of thyme inside the cavity. Truss the legs of the chicken.
  • Season the outside of the chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan, fold the wings underneath the bird.
  • Put the pan into a 400-degree oven for an hour and fifteen minutes -- at that point, check to see if the chicken's done (slice the wing, the juices should run clear). Add more time if needed.
  • Let rest for 10-15 minutes, carve and serve with the roasted vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs. Look for thighs that are plump and have a good amount of fat. This will help them stay moist during cooking.
  • Season the chicken thighs well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to give the chicken flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast the chicken thighs at a high temperature. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Add vegetables to the roasting pan. This is a great way to get a healthy side dish at the same time as you cook the chicken.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest before serving. This will help them retain their juices.

Conclusion:
