Easy Roasted Chicken

I found this recipe over at My First Kitchen and it has quickly become a go-to recipe in our home. It's so easy, healthy and oh so very tasty.

Ingredients:
  • two carrots, peeled and cut into big chunks
  • two red potatoes, cut into big chunks
  • one medium onion cut into chunks
  • two chicken breasts with the skin and the bone
  • two sprigs of fresh rosemary, chopped (dried Rosemary works well too)
Directions:
  1. In a big roasting pan or casserole dish, toss your chunked vegetables with a few drizzles of extra virgin olive oil, a few pinches of salt, a few cracks of pepper, and half of the rosemary.
  2. Now place the chicken SKIN SIDE DOWN in the pan. Drizzle the bottom of the chicken with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Now turn the chicken with the skin side up, and oil and season that side as well.
  3. Now put the pan in a preheated 400 degree oven for an hour. The chicken should be done by then (you can use a thermometer or cut into it a bit if you're freaking out), but unless you have Aunt Bea's oven, an hour should be perfect.
  4. Serve and enjoy!
