One Pan Roast Chicken

The smell coming out of my kitchen while this chicken was in the oven was so good. I'm not sure why, but there is something about the smell of roast chicken that makes me feel so content.

How to make a One Pan Roast Chicken

First cut up the whole chicken in pieces so that it cooks quicker. To add flavour to the chicken, add some onion wedges, celery and carrot sticks and some smashed garlic cloves to the pan.

Chop a lemon into four pieces and add it to the pan along with some fresh herbs (or dry, if fresh isn't available). I used thyme and rosemary, but you can use what you prefer.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and veggies and sprinkle everything with salt, pepper and some paprika. Finish by pouring some chicken broth in the bottom of the pan. That's it, so quick and easy!

One Pan Roast Chicken

The chicken comes out moist, tender and flavourful, I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and use the pan sauce as a sort of gravy.

For a quick and easy low carb dinner, serve this chicken with mashed cauliflower and steamed veggies on the side.

My favourite part of making roast chicken is that you can use the leftovers to make so many other dishes. I used the leftovers to make chicken quesadillas. Enjoy!

    I'm here to rave about this recipe too! This is nearly always what I look for in a 5-star recipe - maximum flavour derived from minimum effort - and the effort for this recipe is practically nonexistent. I skillet-toasted some sesame seeds and sprinkled these over the chicken pieces before serving. Steamed rice and oven-roasted brussels sprouts were the yummy others. One thing I might do next time though, if I have a bit more time, is to brown the chicken pieces first - just to get a bit more attractive colour.
