Jac emailed me during the day and said she’d be cooking roast chicken and vegies for dinner. Excellent! I looked forward to it and couldn’t wait to get home! :-P
She served the roast chicken with roasted potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions and steamed broccoli.
My favourite of the roasted vegetables was the sweet potato. I love roasted sweet potatoes.
The skin was crispy, salty and absolutely wonderful.

Yum, you can’t beat a roast chicken dinner and trimmings. I love sweet potatoes and parsnips to go with it. Your plate looks delicious and I’m sure it must have tasted fab. Well done to Jac!
MmmMmmm!! A smear of butter and a bit of sour cream for the roast potato… Looks divine, all of it. :-D I made a panful of roast vegetables (same as Jac’s) in October; turned out delicious.
Even if you didn’t love Jac for herself,you’d have to love her for her cooking!OMG! What a treasure! I have to tell you again,my friend…I love your blog! Finally,someone who loves chicken as much as I do.My husband thinks I should cluck!I look forward to checking in on you every day.Those beautiful cats make me smile every time!
I don’t normally like roast dinners (unless they are cooked by someone else) but recently roast chicken has been turning up on our mid-week table quite a bit,
Parsnips and butternut squash are a must.
Gcroft,
I love parsnips too – I must remind Jac of that fact! :-P It did taste good – I enjoyed every bit of it.
Cindy,
I didn’t need anything else to go with the potatoes – they had so much flavour just from being cooked in the same tray at the chicken.
kathy,
I told Jac what you said, and she laughed and commented “sounds like a country song!” We decided the song would go something like “She didn’t love me for myself…she only loved me for my cookin’”! Heheheheeh. Totally fictional, of course. :)
kissy,
I love roast dinners midweek! That leaves the weekend for other treats. :)
