    How to Make Best Roasted Chicken

    Every home cook should know how to roast a whole chicken! This foolproof recipe produces a flavorful, golden roasted chicken, plus a delicious broth to serve over the chicken and whatever sides you serve with it. Cooking a whole chicken is great for meal prepping—roast the chicken over the weekend and use it for salads, sandwiches, or other meals throughout the week. As a bonus, you can save the bones and carcass to make your own chicken broth!


    15 min prep time


    1 hr, 15 min cook time

    3 ounces chicken

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a 9×13 baking or roasting pan with cooking spray.
    2. Add chopped onion, carrots and celery to the pan and top with fresh parsley and fresh thyme. Mix ingredients to evenly distribute them.
    3. Remove and discard giblet and neck from chicken cavity. Trim excess fat around neck and cavity opening. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
    4. Starting at the neck, loosen skin around breast using your finger. Rub entire chicken (including breast meat under the skin) with olive oil. Season the outside of the chicken and the inside of cavity with the salt and pepper.
    5. Fill the cavity of the chicken with the lemon wedges and smashed garlic and place chicken breast- side up into the pan on top of the herbs and vegetables.
    6. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and bake in oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake chicken additional 45 minutes.
    7. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest, covered with foil for 20 minutes. Strain the vegetables and herbs from broth in the bottom of the pan. De-fat the broth and set aside (you should end up with about one cup of broth). Discard the vegetables. NOTE: To de-fat the broth, use a fat separator, or chill the broth in the fridge—the fat will rise to the top and solidify making it easy to scrape off the top.
    8. Once the chicken has rested, remove the skin and cut into 8 pieces, discarding the carcass, lemons and garlic. Pour the de-fatted broth over the chicken and serve.

    Beet and Arugula Salad with Feta

    How to Make Beet and Arugula Salad with Feta

    Never cooked with beets before? This quick and easy recipe is a great place to start. The roasted beets, arugula and feta make a delicious combination of flavors!


    10 min prep time


    2servings


    1 cup (packed)

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    2. Put the beets in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the beets with 1 Tsp. oil. Sprinkle the pepper over the beets.

    3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender when tested with a fork. Let cook on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

    4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 Tsps.. oil, vinegar, and mustard. Add the arugula, swirling the leaves in the dressing (tongs work well for this). Add the cooled beets. Sprinkle with the feta. Toss to combine.

    5. Cook’s Tip: Most recipes advise roasting beets whole, then peeling them after cooking. To cut cooking time considerably, peel them raw (a vegetable peeler works well) and cut them into quarters or eighths before roasting. Beets can stain clothes, so you may want to wear an apron and a pair of disposable plastic gloves before handling the beets.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Add olive oil and generous amount of cooking spray to a large soup pot over high heat. In batches, brown beef on all sides. Do not overcrowd the pan with beef or it will not brown.
    2. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Add onions, carrots and celery to the pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
    3. Add the beef broth and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add beef and simmer for 1 hour.
    4. While the beef is simmering, soak the prunes in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain the prunes, saving the water and set aside.
    5. After the beef has simmered for 1 hour, add the drained prunes, sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup of the prune water, cinnamon, ground black pepper and salt. Bring to a simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
    6. Stir in the chopped parsley and serve.
