Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Add the melted ghee, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl and whisk well.
- Use the ghee mixture to season the entire chicken and set aside.
- Add the cubed sweet potato, quartered onion, and sliced carrots to the base of the baking dish and drizzle with avocado oil.
- Add the seasoned chicken on top of the veggies and cook for 15 minutes before reducing the temperature to 350. Once the temperature is set to 350, cook the chicken for 20 minutes per pound or until the chicken is completely cooked, and the juices run clear.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 20 minutes before serving and enjoy with the cooked veggies!
I made this with butter instead of ghee, and it is so delicious!! Could have cooked it a few minutes less, but still moist and wonderful.
So happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe, Deborah! ?
Yess I only had butter available so I did the same. It was delicious!
Making this right now!!! So excited!
I’m going to try it in a crockpot. Any modifications recommendations?
My husband and I enjoyed this recipe last evening. My chicken was six pounds so we have lots of left over chicken for tonights meal. I’m enjoying this resource. Thank you.
Love hearing that you’re enjoying Recipe Central, Dianne! ?
Mmmm good! Just made it for dinner and it was so good. I used regular potatoes because that’s all I had and they cooked all together perfectly. Made gravy with the left over juice!
This was a great simple recipe. I added butternut squash and some miniature potatoes too. Great roast chicken that we have managed to use in 3 more family meals as leftovers!
This is one of my go to faves!
It’s a good one for sure, Dianne! ?
Loved this. I only had small potatoes, olive oil, dried rosemary and minced garlic in a jar. It worked great! Enough for tomorrow too!
Yum! So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Marilyn!
Eating this evening! Had fun preparing!
Hooray! Enjoy, Rebecca! ?
SO delicious! I used pasture raised chicken and everything in the recipe but garlic. I will definitely make this again! with leftovers I made chicken salad with avocado mayo. Delicious!!
Love the leftovers idea, Corinne! So glad you enjoyed this! 🙂
