a fifo wife {whats for dinner :Roasted chicken with carrots, olives and lemon..plus some garlic}

I only just tried this recipe monday night. Its a new one to the rotation. Its quick easy one pot, it uses the oven hence it warms up my house and it used up the carrots that where in the vege bin. Winner all round.

  • 1 chicken, cut into 10 pieces
  • 5 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces (halved lengthwise if thick)
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • the recipe doesnt call for it but I added garlic

How to:

  • Heat oven to 220 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the chicken, carrots, olives, bay leaves, lemon, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Arrange in a single layer and sprinkle the chicken with the paprika.
  • Roast, tossing the vegetables once, until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

Serve with mashed poatotes..yum.
