Pasture Raised, Oven Roasted Chicken

Sometimes it’s the simplest foods that can bring a smile to your face. Oven roasted chicken is one of those things!  A quintessential rustic meal fit for… anyone who enjoys chicken.

Kate picked up half of a pasture raised free-range grass-fed chicken from Mountain View Poultry Farm at Clark Park Farmer’s Market the other week.  Today I opted to squeeze some fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil on it and roast it in the oven, at 375°, along with some cut white potatoes and carrots.  One hour later we had delicious, juicy chicken and tender roasted veggies.

She made a tasty tatsoi (Asian green), orange bell pepper, and mushroom sauté to go along with our simple meal.  It hit the proverbial spot.

Happy grubbin’!
