Quick Roast Chicken & Root Vegetables
Quick Roast Chicken & Root Vegetables is the most perfect midweek comfort food. I love to cook with root vegetables in Fall and Winter. And there is nothing I love more than roasted root vegetables like turnips. If you don’t have or like turnip, you could substitute it with pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots or even beets!
Start this dish by putting the veggies in a hot oven. While they are roasting, prepare the chicken by browning it all over in a skillet with hot oil. Place the chicken in the oven with the veggies to cook through. While the chicken is roasting, make a gravy from flour, broth and shallot. Serve with the gravy.
To make the Quick Roast Chicken & Root Vegetables, you will need the following ingredients:
