We had another rainy day to enjoy at home and of course we thought – lets cook something good! We took stock of all we had in our fridge and freezer… after finding a whole frozen chicken that Matt bought last month we decided to break in our new roasting pan. We saw the recipe for the chick on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and then added to it based on what we had on hand.
Directions:
Place carrots, celery, and onions in bottom of roasting pan with ½ stick of butter and about 3 cups of water.
Split a whole chicken into two halves – rub with olive oil, then cover with Cavendars, garlic powder, salt and pepper…add to roasting pan. Cook for about 1 hour at 375 – we tented it for the first 30 minutes.
Rice – make basmati rice according to directions (we made 1 cup) and then drain. Sauté ½ cup onion, celery and 2 cloves minced garlic in pan with olive oil for about 3 minutes; add the rice and mix well. Add in 1 T sesame oil – cook for about 5 minutes until rice starts to brown slightly. Add in ½ cup fresh parmesan cheese and remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime.
We made a basic tossed salad with a balsamic vinaigrette! Good comfort food! Enjoy the week – M&R
