Roasted Chicken with Vegetables
Gluten Free Living – 2015
Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is a mouthwatering chicken entree. It’s also really easy to make. I decided to make a chicken dish with several vegetables including petite red potatoes, petite baby carrots (for faster cooking), yellow squash, zucchini, tomato, onions, leeks and garlic. The results were awesome.

This entree provides a healthy, nourishing one-dish meal for your family. I love my Roasted Lemon Chicken with Potatoes and Tomatoes recipe. Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is inspired from that tasty main dish. Both recipes are complete meals in and of themselves. I used most of the sauce ingredients from the Roasted Lemon Chicken dish, with one big exception: this one has no lemon. It’s not that I don’t like lemon, I do. But I wanted something without it this time.
Our church recently hired a new worship pastor. He and his family moved up from Austin a couple of weekends ago. I offered to bring them a meal. I made up a batch of Roasted Chicken and Vegetables and served it with my favorite Scalloped Tomatoes recipe. Additionally, I made a Corn Casserole, Sun-Dried Tomato Rosemary Bread and Rocky Road S’Mores Bars for dessert. I made a batch of Strawberry Pecan Streusel Muffins for breakfast the following day. I figured there would be enough food for two dinner meals. That’s what I usually try to provide when I’m cooking for someone else. I know that moving into a new home is traumatic enough without having to worry about cooking.
Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is a healthy, low calorie, gluten free main dish. It’s so tasty, I’m sure you’re whole family will enjoy it. The olive oil marinade made the chicken and veggies turn out so wonderfully. I added some savory roasted vegetables to the dish which really upgraded this recipe. I wanted something other than just tomatoes and potatoes. Or, the more traditional potatoes and carrots that most roasts have.
I added yellow squash and zucchini to those other vegetables. The leeks, onions and garlic added flavor. Everything cooked up beautifully and this entree turned out exceptionally tasty. I’ve used green beans and sweet potatoes in my Rosemary-Garlic Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans. I thought the squash would be a nice change of pace. Because I really enjoyed the sauce in my Roasted Lemon Chicken recipe, I carried it over to this one. You can increase the crushed red pepper flakes if you want additional zip to the recipe.
This is an easy main dish meal where you don’t have to serve any other side dishes (unless you want to). Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is certainly worth a try. Roasting meats and especially vegetables adds so much additional flavor to the food. I basted the meat and veggies with sauce from the bottom of the baking dish before serving, to increase the flavor. You will be licking your lips in no time after a few bites of this delicious entree.
Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is a wonderful one-dish meal.
This terrific entree is seasoned marvelously, and it’s fairly easy to prepare, too.
Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is healthy, low calorie and gluten free.
Every bite will have you licking your chops!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Place chicken pieces in a 10×15″ glass baking dish (use a larger dish to avoid overcrowding). Place red potatoes, carrots, zucchini and squash around the outside of the dish. Spread leeks and onion rings across the meat and vegetables.
Place olive oil and seasonings in a glass measuring cup.
Stir well to incorporate ingredients completely.
Drizzle or brush olive oil mixture over top chicken and veggies. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for about 45 minutes.
Add tomatoes and bake an additional 45-60 minutes. Or until chicken is cooked through when pierced with a fork and it reaches the proper internal temperature.
Baste the chicken and veggies with additional broth from the bottom of the baking dish before serving.
I served Roasted Chicken with Vegetables with other sides and bread. But it’s really enough for a main dish meal without any other accompaniments.
Roasted Chicken with Vegetables is an excellent choice for a company dinner, too.
I loved the seasoning for this dish.
Here’s the recipe.
