Family Meal Month, Recipe #3

Today marks the third week of September and the third week of Family Meal Month here at Family Builders. In honor of Monday, another family recipe has been provided for you courtesy of local chef Christa Carretero of Cooking Girl. She has graciously provided us with a low-cost, fun recipe for you to share with your family:

Oven Roasted Chicken

4 pieces of chicken with skin on

1 tsp. Thyme

1 tsp. Rosemary

1 TBSP. Dijon Mustard

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

While the oven is heating, mix all ingredients together with chicken in a bowl.  Rub mixture into the chicken pieces.

Oven Roasted Potatoes

4 Idaho Potato's, cut into wedges

3 TBSP. Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

Place Potato's in a bowl and mix in the ingredients. Place in a 9x13 casserole dish. Place Potato's in with the chicken at the same time at 375 degrees and cook at 375 degrees for approx. 30 minutes. Every oven differs in temperature so check the Chicken and Potato's in 30 minutes to see if they are done.  Chicken will be done when the juices run clear. One of them may have to cook longer than the other.

Garlic Roasted Broccoli

1 1/2 Fresh Brocoli

1 TBSP Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

3 cloves of garlic, minced

Wash and cut the Broccoli into florets.  In a bowl, mix the Broccoli and all other indredients together.  Transfer Broccoli  mixture onto a cookie sheet and put into oven at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

 

Remember, these recipes are to encourage you to sit down and share a meal with your entire family. Enjoy a hearty meal, good dinner conversations, but most importantly, quality time with your children.
