Roast Chicken

roast-chicken-w

Here is a delicious roast chicken recipe!  This is a great dish to make on a weekday night since you will have left over chicken for other recipes during the week. I started making this chicken recipe with my roaster, and I love it!  It’s so easy to make and it’s a great use of that roaster you have sitting in a cupboard collecting dust.  The mix of spices gives it a savory flavor while leaving the chicken meat moist.  So let’s get that roaster out and start cooking.

Mix your spices in a bowl: onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground sage, black pepper, and salt.Roasted chicken 1

Rinse off your whole chicken, rub olive oil on it, and then rub all of the spices on the chicken.

Place the chicken in the roaster with the breast side up.  Then add enough water to just cover the bottom of the roaster.  Now roast your chicken at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Now it is time to enjoy your chicken.

One-Pan Spiral Goulash

Spiral-Goulash-w

Here is an easy meal that the whole family will love.  This dish has a great flavor and it’s a healthy recipe.  So why would the whole family like it you ask?  It’s because for this meal I use a little trick of mine that works on my family; I blend the tomatoes to get rid of the tomato chunks.  My husband and my daughter both hate tomato chucks so I blend the tomatoes up to avoid hearing my family say: “Yucky!”  “Why are these chunks in here?” and “I’m not hungry.”  Now all I hear is, “This is awesome!”  I use this same trick for my Old Fashioned Chili and it works like a charm.  Wait a minute!  This meal gets better!  This dish is called One-Pan Spiral Goulash for a reason; it only gets one pan dirty!     

So lets get started on this easy recipe.  In a large pan or in a pot brown your onion and 1 pound of ground beef until the meat is no longer pink.Goulash-1-wBlend your 2 cans of stewed tomatoes in the blender.
