Baked/Roasted chicken and veg??
Quarantined
Posts: 50
So I'm pretty new to all things oven related as my cooking method of choice has always been grilling meat and steaming veggies. I really want to switch to baking my food, so does anyone have any yummy recipes, preferably chicken, where I can just bung my meat and veggies in a dish and pop it in the oven? Keep in mind I'm utterly oblivious to oven temperatures and cooking times too, so if you can include that info in the recipe it'd be greatly appreciated.

I often bake chicken breasts in the same roasting dish as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and onions.
I cut the potatoes into quarters and the carrots and onions into big chunks and then spray with 1 cal oil and add a sprinkling of herbs and spices (usually garlic, smoked paprika and thyme, sometimes a bit of chilli) and then bake on about 200 degrees for around 30-40 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are nice and golden.
And served with some gravy and fresh veg and it's like a roast dinner but with less hassle!0 -
This is what I did last night, it was yummy.
Chicken thighs or legs (I buy organic)
Celery
Carrots
Onions
Coconut Oil (Refined or Unrefined, whatever you like)
Sea Salt
Pepper
and whatever spices you have
Preheat oven at 350 degrees, add water and slow cook for about 2 hours.
The meat falls apart. I hope this helps.0 -
I'll be trying both of those recipes, thanks guys.0

I put chicken peices (thighs and legs) in a fairly deep bowl, mix up half a pint of chicken stock and pour over the chicken, add some cloves of garlic, some chunks of onion & some mushrooms. Cover with foil and put in the oven, about 190 degrees C, for 45 minutes, taking the foil off after the first 25 mins.
The stock keeps the meat really moist and yummy!0 -
No brain cooking
1 whole chicken
1 lemon
1 large onion
sweet potatoes
fennel
wash and pat dry chicken prick lemon with a fork and stuff in cavity of chicken. Cut onion and put in bottom of crock pot. place chicken on top, add cut up sweet potatoes and fennel. Add some water to cover bottom, salt pepper or whatever spices you like, put on low for 8 hours. Dinner ready. Mine usually goes for at least 12 because I put it on before I go to work and eat when I come home, after 12 you will never get the chicken out of the pot because it will fall completely apart.0 -

I like to roast the following veg: celery, mushrooms, courgette (zucchini) onion, Abergine (egg plant), & peppers (capsicums). Chop all up into chunks, spray with one cal oil, add mixed herbs and roast (I'm afraid I'm not sure on the timings for this as I guesstimate all my cooking! But propably for about 30 mins at 190
I often serve this with chicken breast (takes about the same time to cook)
Variations on the chicken:
slit the raw breast open and spread in one tablespoon of Philadelphia (cream chesse with mixed herbs) and bake
Place raw chicken breast in dish with tinned tomatoes, garlic, herbs and a little olive oil and bake
And sometimes as a little treat I add a little feta cheese to the veg. Yum yum! That me hungry now!0 -

YAY! Yet another great recipe from you, DHalaby73 Consider yourself recipe stalked! Thanks for all the contributions, I'm sure there's more I'm missing but I'll go back through and look.:flowerforyou: Love new recipes, I found a yummy sounding one that is Chicken Breast stuffed with Artichoke hearts and Goat Cheese...healthy, simple and tasty sounding. Does it get better than that?
ETA: Of course all the other recipes shared are much appreciated too!:flowerforyou:
**The Baked Rice and Peas (veggies) caught my eye as well. Though I don't use white rice so not sure how this would translate to brown, suppose I could cook it up first and then bake in the oven for a bit? Might try.. if you experiment with the brown would LOVE to hear your results, time baked etc. Thanks for the recipe:happy:0 -
yum!!! i'll be trying this one!
thinking of subbing zucchini for broccoli or spinach though.0 -
Here is an awesome side dish from skinny taste:
skinnytaste.com
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/12/baked-rice-and-peas.html
Baked Rice and Peas
A simple rice dish with sweet peas baked in the oven. Perfect as a side for grilled shrimp or chicken. Adding
vegetables to your rice, allows you to have a larger portion for less points and adds fiber.
I've been experimenting with baking rice in the oven all weekend and I finally got the rice to water ratio
perfect. My husband thought I was crazy for taking the risk of wasting food, but there is something nice about
being able to put something in the oven, setting the timer and forgetting about it. This also opens the doors
to many possibilities with other one pot rice dishes in the future, but for today, this simple side dish. (I have
not tried this with brown rice, I might have to experiment)

Calories: 173.7 • Fat: 1.5 g • Protein: 5.5 g • Carb: 34.4 g • Fiber: 2.0 g
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
14.5 oz can fat free chicken broth (vegetarians use vegetable broth)
1 tsp butter
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
5 oz (1/2 package) frozen peas
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine all ingredients in a oven-safe baking dish with a lid. Place a piece of tin foil
between the lid and the dish to ensure no steam escapes. Bake 45 minutes (do not open, do not peek, do
not stir to rice). When 45 minutes is up, remove from oven and let it sit for 10 more minutes to allow the
steam to finish cooking the rice, (do not open, do not peek, do not stir to rice). After 10 minutes, remove lid
and fluff with a fork.

Try stir fry. Really low cal. Add whatever veggies you have on hand. In addition to the recipe, I usually add carrot, tomato, corn, shelled edamame or whatever. I usually skip the ginger, just because I don’t usually have any.
2 whole chicken breasts, split, boned and skinned
1/3 c. Pace Picante sauce
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. sugar
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 med. onion, cut into thin wedges
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. freshly shredded ginger root OR 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 1/2 c. broccoli flowerets
1 med. red or green pepper, cut into 3/4 in. pieces
Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes. Combine Picante souce, soy sauce, water, cornstarch and sugar in small bowl; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and stir fry 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove with slotted spoon. Add remaining oil, onion, garlic, and ginger to skillet; stir fry 30 seconds. Add broccoli and peppers; stir fry 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender. Add chicken and Picante sauce mixture; stir fry about 1 minute or until sauce thickens. Serve with additional Picante sauce. Makes 4 servings. Sauce can be doubled.0 -
