Roasted chicken has to be one of my favorite dishes. As we all know chicken is just super versatile you can have a new dish day after day. This dish I love because it has some of my favorite ingredients:
whole chicken: I love using a whole chicken for multiple reason the dish is sourced from one chicken, I like to freeze the remaining carcass for stock, and it has a part or two for everyone.

spinach: Gives a great green pop, excellent source of iron and easy to sneak into kid dishes.

sundried tomatoes: Makes for a excellent thickener. It also absorbs the liquid of whatever you put it in like a sponge. Add a nice red tint to sauce.

roasted red potatoes: Amazing flavor absorber without being to potato-ey.

I also love a dish that’s one pot but can build major flavor. The key to this dish is searing the chicken to lock in the juices. Roasting with chicken stock to keep the chicken moist but also cooking it to keep tender. Thickening the sauce once out of the oven and building flavor. Try this recipe out and let me know what you think.
