Garlic Chicken with Sweet Potatoes

Makes: 4 to 6 servings
Prep: 25 minutes
Roast: 1 1/2 hours

Views Nutrition Facts

Ingredients
3 heads garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons snipped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3- to 3 1/2-pound whole roasting chicken
3 medium sweet potatoes (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia, Maui, or Walla Walla), cut into wedges
Directions
Preheat oven to 375° F. Separate the cloves of garlic (you should have about 30 cloves) and peel. Mince four of the cloves. Set aside remaining garlic cloves.

In a small bowl, combine minced garlic with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the rosemary, the ground black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Rub minced garlic mixture over chicken.

Place six of the garlic cloves into the cavity of the chicken. Tie legs to tail. Twist wing tips under back. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert oven-going meat thermometer into center of an inside thigh muscle. Do not allow thermometer tip to touch bone. Roast, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours or until drumsticks move easily in their sockets and meat thermometer registers 180°F.

Meanwhile, place sweet potatoes, onion wedges, remaining garlic cloves, 1/2 tablespoon of the rosemary, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a 1392-inch baking pan. Drizzle vegetable mixture with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to coat. Place in oven on a separate rack and roast, uncovered, for 50 to 60 minutes or until tender, stirring every 15 minutes.

Remove chicken from oven. Cover loosely with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Serve chicken with vegetables. Carve chicken,discarding skin before serving.

Salmon in foil with mushrooms and some type of zuccinni squash drizzle with olive oil, cook on BBQ. Cook brown or jasmine rice on the side. I know you said he doesn't like fish but this is soooo...easy!

Pasta is always a winner with the little ones, add tuna with some peas & sweetcorn or broccolli, OR instead of the tuna add chicken or ham!
Rice bolied then lightly fryed with an egg is always a good side dish.
Make ur own burgers by mixing mince meat with an egg and some thyme and basil shape and grill, goes really well with home made wedges, chop up a potato into wedges ( u can throw what u want on them, such as black pepper, jerk seasoning, i love paprika on them) just add a lil olive oil first give them an often shake on the oven they should take about45 mins!
Meatballs & spagette
mince meat mixed with raw egg some herbs shape and fry in a little olive oil, SAUCE: tin toms, basil, thyme, onion,pepper chilli's a little sugar blended togther makes a tasty quick and easy sauce!

Annu - posted on 06/23/2010

saute 1 onion - diced, add 2 cloves of arlic - chopped - and saute, when onion is transparent - add one bunch of chopped spinach and saute. then you can add some chopped mushroom/shrimp/chicken and saute - till half cooked. add 1 cup rice, 2 cups stock/water.
once this boils, cover, and cook on low heat for 15 minutes approx - till done.

Hmm... BBQ sauce has LOTS of sugar, and after my pregnancy with gestational diabetes I'm very careful about sauces, plus my husband is from RSA and BBQ sauce is forbidden, only spices and homemade rubs are allowed! And he hates green beans, peas, corn, cabbage and brussel sprouts!

Jane - posted on 06/22/2010

Grilled chicken, with bbq sauce (my favorite marinade is A-1 Mesquite marinade), boiled potatoes, and green beans. Great meal for the whole family, and easy!
