Simple Roast Chicken

By devogirl

Roast chicken is my favorite comfort foods. It’s healthy, delicious, everyone in our house loves it, there’s always plenty left over for lunch the next day and it only takes me a few minutes to prepare it for cooking.
That’s why we need to get creative. The recipes I’m going to post in the coming days utilize this Simple Roast Chicken as an ingredient. You’ll be able to whip up all these dinners in a snap because you already have plenty of the main ingredient cooked and on hand. Stay tuned this week!
