One Pan Baked Chicken with Vegetables Recipe

Throw this one pan baked chicken with vegetables in the oven and dinner is ready in about an hour. Use frozen vegetables to make this dinner recipe even easier.

I’ve recently become interested in the idea of one pan recipes.  I’m all for minimizing the amount of dishes I use to cook.  If I can get both vegetables and a protein cooked at the same time and on the same pan, then sign me up! I decided to try this idea with a whole chicken and a few bags of frozen vegetables.

I didn’t want to have to spend time chopping up vegetables so I decided to see if frozen would work. I was a bit concerned that they’d get too mushy.  I knew I would need some hardier vegetables. I threw in a bag of mixed root vegetables of sweet potatoes, carrots and parsnips.  I added in another bag of cauliflower as well. Smaller and softer vegetables like green beans would probably overcook so stick with sturdier options. I tossed the veggies in olive oil and salt and pepper.

I seasoned a whole chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Use whatever spices you like. Rosemary and paprika are also delicious on chicken.  Rub the seasonings all over the skin of the chicken as well as in the cavity.  Bake uncovered in a 400 degree oven for a little over an hour.  Check with a meat thermometer in the thigh to make sure the bird is cooked thoroughly.

When the chicken is done, remove the pan from the oven. Immediately put the chicken on a cutting board for carving. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a serving dish.  Don’t leave them sitting in the chicken juices for too long or they will get soggy.  Serve the chicken with the veggies and spoon a little of the juices from the pan on top.  That’s it! Dinner is ready with little work from you.
