Fruit, Vegetables and Roasted Chicken

Well, this was a nice surprise!

I wasn't planning to blog this (normally I use solid color plates and bowls when I do) but it turned out really well. I snapped a photo before devouring it all, plus the rest of the fruit and vegetable mix - the photo only shows half of what I made!

I roasted an Amish chicken this afternoon. I'll create more recipes with that in the next few days. It smelled so good I decided to quick cook something to go with a little bit of the chicken for an easy dinner tonight. This is only 2-1/2oz. chicken with some Lingonberries.

To serve with the chicken, I combined:

1 lg. carrot

1 slightly underripe Bartlett pear

1/4 lg. Vidalia onion

garlic salt and black pepper

2T single source EVOO

a little water

Scrub and slice the carrot, and peeled onion. Quarter and cut the pear into 1/2" cubes. Start by simmering the carrot in the water and olive oil with the seasonings. After a few minutes, add the pear and onion.

Continue to cook on low, covered, for 5 minutes. Don't overcook. Uncover, stir and continue to simmer until the liquid evaporates. Serve with a 'side' of chicken. This was DE-licious! . .Lin
