I try to cook dinner at home as much as possible. And I try to use what I call Primary ingredients as much as possible. Not sure if that’s a technical term or not, but that’s how I refer to them. They are ingredients that are unprocessed and without preservatives and that are not pre-mixed.
From time-to-time, I will share what we had for dinner here. I’m by no means any sort of chef, or foodie or food photographer. But I do like good, whole food.
So last night, we had Roasted Chicken with Carrots and Bok Choy.
The Chicken
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Stuff the chicken with oranges, apples, onion, garlic and rosemary
- Rub the chicken with olive oil all over
- Salt and pepper the chicken
- Place breast side down for first half of roasting (about 30-45 minutes)
- Flip entire chicken over for second half of cooking (another 30-45 minutes)
The Carrots
- Add a little olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Roast uncovered in the oven until tender while the chicken is going
The Bok Choy
- Cut in half lengthwise and wash thoroughly
- Salt and Pepper
- Place cut side down in hot pan with a little olive oil
- Cover, if needed, to wilt slightly
- Flip after a few minutes to continue cooking
The Dinner Plate
I forgot to mention that I also added a little kale salad that was leftover from the night before and threw a couple sliced almonds on top.
