I know it’s hot out there for some of you and you are craving popsicles & salads. Well, guess what….sometimes you need a hearty meal too. One that takes a little while to cook, but no hovering over. A meal already prepared ~ so you can reach into your fridge & grab it, that way you can get on with more important things. This One-Pot Roasted Chicken & Veggies is sooooo simple to prepare. Go ahead & toss some on your salad. I asked my awesome pal Jesse Morris from the blog KillerChefs what the heck to do with a chicken I bought recently….this is his great idea.
Sometimes I listen, sometimes I don’t. I listen to Jesse ’cause he really knows great food & good cookin’.
He is a chef & also a hunter ~ so I trust. Hence his blog name KillerChefs. Jesse was the head chef at the fabulous restaurant Roy’s. He knows stuff. I often ask him cooking questions and he answers back quickly with great ideas. You can ask him questions too on his Facebook page.
This chicken is perfect for those on grain-free, gluten-free and Paleo meal plans. What you got here is a protein-packed, veggie-rich meal.
So even though it takes a little while in the oven, it is worth it’s while to have great food at the ready. I can take extra time to my mountain views & smell a delicious meal cooking in the oven.
The kids can play outside while it cooks. You can run around the house doing whatever it is you need to do. Or you can sit and have a cocktail.
I like to serve our chicken over these pretty sunflower sprouts.
You can also go with a salad, pasta, quinoa, hunks of crusty bread or rice. Your choice. Enjoy your chicken!

Mmm! Sounds so good! Your photos are beautiful and I never get tired of those mountains. So gorgeous!
Me too girl…..I’ll never ever get tired of these mountains 🙂
i love that this is all in one pot! delish!
Soooooo simple and not much to clean 🙂
This is the perfect family dinner – can not wait to try it out!
Scrumptious looking! That is a tasty and colorful veggie bed. I’ve not eaten that kind of dish since far too long…
Cheers,
Rosa
This sounds fantastic! And no matter what the temp, I love any excuse to get out my big Dutch oven!
I absolutely adore dishes like this!
I love easy one pot dishes especially with the weather being so warm. I love the mountain views they are breath taking…
Gosh, I never get tired of seeing your images of Telluride. You’re so lucky to live there. 🙂
Now for this pot-roasted chicken–my kind of meal. I’d rather have this than a popsicle any day!
I like that it’s easy. I’ll make it for dinner with friends, they will love it 😀
This is really beautiful Marla. How do those sunflower sprouts taste? I have never had them before?
Just saw this Marla, thank you for the mention. I grew up in Colorado, all my memories are set with mountains as the backdrop- lucky you. Blessings, Louise
Well hell-O dinner tonight! 🙂 Seriously, this sounds amazing and I’m all about the one-pot-edness (that’s a word, right?)
Perfectly delicious!!
I love roasted chicken and one-pot is even better ;).
Marla,
I love how a roasted chicken can be dinner one night and then so much more (thus far I’ve made chicken sushi, chicken jelly, and chicken salad from my latest chicken, and there’s enough for one more recipe). ((It was a big chicken.))
Both the chicken and your mountain views look enticing. And your pretty not-purple pot? Lovely. I’ll have to figure out if my knob is phenolic or not.
Thanks!
This is SO my kind of meal, Marla! Perfectly simple and easy, but very flavorful! See ya tomorrow at the Ziplist dessert party. 😉
Those sprouts are so pretty! I love how wholesome this meal is 🙂
Wow your roasted chicken & vegetables are gorgeous! The chicken is perfectly roasted and I love to add all kinds of root veggies. I have to try this recipe soon!
Absolutely gorgeous, Marla! The beauty of a ski town is it’s never too hot to turn on the oven for some down home cookin’. Enjoy!
that meal looks SO good; I can almost smell the chicken now,and with only one pot, my husband can’t complain about my kitchen mess:)
Such a perfect family meal!!!
That is one beautiful looking roasted chicken. And drink. And those mountains. Everything. Very pretty Marla!
Thanks so much Mike!
Thank you for posting this. I have a chicken thawing in the fridge. I plan to bake it tomorrow.
Perfect timing! Hopefully you got to try this 🙂
Delicious supper idea!
Beautiful! This looks amazing, and I love one pot recipes 🙂
I just love meals you can cook in one pot. It sure makes for easy cleanup. What a great healthy meal this is.
I’ve made this chicken now three times, and with different root veggies each time. This last time, I’ve made it with chicken thighs instead of the whole chicken since my local store was out of them. This is an AMAZING meal I never tire of. Thanks!
