Whole Roasted Chicken and Carrots {One Pot Meal}
This post may contain affiliate links, read our disclosure policy.
I love a whole roasted chicken meal. It’s absolutely my go-to schtick. So many simple and flavorful combinations and you can usually do the whole meal in one pot. Who doesn’t appreciate a one pot dinner? And I always roast two chickens so there are leftovers for Chicken Enchiladas or Hot Chicken Salad! Tonight we had Whole Roasted Chicken and Carrots. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm.
Whole Roasted Chicken and Carrots
Ingredients
- 2 whole chickens seasoned with your favorite blend (I used Emeril's Original Essence)
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 1 can sliced mushrooms 4 ounces, drained
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced (I used jarred)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put carrots, onion, and mushrooms in the bottom of a large covered roaster (I used my 6.5 quart cast iron and everything just *barely* fit).
- Place whole chickens breast side DOWN, on top of vegetables.
- Bake on 375 degrees for one hour and forty five minutes. Remove lid and flip the birds (sorry, couldn't help myself!). Continue roasting UNCOVERED for an additional fifteen minutes, or until your meat thermometer reads a safe temperature.
- Salt and pepper to taste, serve with a simple salad and enjoy!
