roast chicken for the week

martha's roast chicken is a staple dish around my house

i love it because although it takes a bit more work

it is smooth sailing for the next couple of meals

let me explain 

you need the whole chicken, rosemary, a lemon, some garlic cloves, butter, salt & pepper and mini red potatoes optional but a nice touch

the oven at 475 

before roasting

55 mins later  

dinner complete

with the pan drippings creating a creamy sauce

ry was pleased 

here is a nice recipe to try out

now onto the leftovers...

these enchiladas are the creamiest thing ever

then nigellas soup for needy people for dinner 

yes that's the name of the recipe

seriously soothing

all from one chicken

perfect for a couple of meals for 2

hope you guys had a great weekend

i am sick with a cold
